Default 99' FBP EM1 & Just Painted Valve Cover

Just thought I'd share these pics of my 99' Si. I painted the valve cover on Sunday and thought it came out ok.





Comments welcomed.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll look into an oem lip when I get er resprayed. And I liked the way the wrinkle paint looked so much I thought the spark plug cover could use some paint too.

I got it at Auto Zone. it's called Krylon wrinkle black. And it doesn't have to be high temp.The regular paint stands up well to the heat from the valve cover. Hope thaat helped. And one can will be more than enough to give the valve cover 2 to 3 coats. Remember to use primer before you spray the paint.
