Default mario kart...valve cover?? (non-honda)

alright so a buddy of mine is rebuilding a s13 ka for a small turbo for his s14. it is a slow build so he has had some spare time on his hands.
he decided to sand down and paint his valve cover a glass gun metal color. he is talking to me about it and we came to the conclusion that everyone does this so he should make his slightly more unique. he calls me the following day and says "i want you to paint the weapons from mario kart going along the valve cover and im going to go with that theme throughout my car."

this is the valve cover as he gave it to me:





i get ahold of it and 3 days later this is what it looks like:






i think it came out pretty good. the pics dont do it justice either...
thanks for looking
