Default Crazy VC paint ideas.

Just wondering if i could get some VC paint ideas.

Im not looking for a splatter paint, or the nintendo controller.

What i was going to do was a "H" emblem shadow, over the aztec green knock off paint. trimmed in black?

i was thinking since everyone here gets on the tech more than others, it would benefit for more opinions.

You can put your thread anywhere it fits. I thought it might be okay in this subforum within the category of engine appearance.

Don't see how this is technical. Maybe if it was a how to. But since you want opinions I say do a SpongeBob themed VC.

Just curious, where do you feel is the best subforum for this thread? Sometimes a thread fits in more than one place.

In the Cosmetic forum because that's what this is.

Here's a VC paint thread already going.

This^ would definitely be an excellent place for it, though the Painting the Valve Cover link in the FAQs sticky is taken from this subforum. I guess that if the thread is more oriented toward design, then the Appearance forum is most appropriate. But if the thread is more focused on technically how to paint a valve cover, then it could also fit well in this subforum. Sometimes there are gray zones.

Discussion as in TECH discussion. So do you just want ideas or do you need to know HOW to paint your VC?

Well, grumblemarc is correct that discussions in this subforum should be technical.

They're not being ********...they're giving you guidance...harsh as it may seem.

If you post in the appearance section...you'll be more likely to get responses...and better responses at that. That way you aren't limited to just eg/ek owners and you will also be grouping your thread into a place where appearance is more of a priority, and it will reflect in the replies on your post when you post there.
