Default Painted my valve cover red today!

I just got done sandblasting my valve cover and then painted it red. Looks great!!
Heres some pics of the whole process

Heres a pic of the cover sitting in my sandblaster. I hate the factory black 'crap' they put on.



I thought this was a nice shot of the valvetrain.



Here it is freshly sandblasted.



And here it is red. Dont it look purdy?



Later on this evening i will sand over the letters and the so that they are nice and shiney looking. I will post pics when completed. Look at more stuff at my website(see sig).

edit: spelling

And here it is all done. I got rid of the honda ground wires and replaced with some of my own stuff. I took off the upper piece of the belt guard and i modified it so that you dont have to take off the valve cover if you want to put the guard back on/off. anywho, enjoy the pics <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emwink.gif" BORDER="0">
