you could've spread out some more paper instead of spraying all over your driveway ....valve cover looks nice any pic with it on your car?

i hate overspray....my garage floor has reminence of red overspray all over....i tryed to use brake cleaner to get it offf....it kind toook it off..but not really....looks nice, nontheless.

do you want any personal opinions? well, i think it would look a lot sweeter if you left the spark plug cover silver or maybe painted it black...or any contrasting color. peace!

No pics on the car because I dont have any screws to put the cover back on. I accidently threw the bag of them away cleaning my garage yesterday. I will have a bunch tommorrow though, I am gonna spend hours cleaning my engine bay. Hopefully it comes out somewhat decent.

get another plug cover or get a cf one. that would look dope.

also, what did you use to strip it before you painted it?

As far as my garage floor, it doesnt matter. One of our summer projects is cleaning it out and resealing the whole thing, so its gonna get cleaned anyway. And pics on the car will be tommorrow, I promise.

I'm not feeling the "all over" paint job...You could have left the lettering un-painted, and the plug cover...Would have looked much nicer.
