Default Painted my first valvecover..

It was cold so the paint didn't stick to well, plus it was dark so I think I probably could have had more even coats has I been able to see. But all in all, it came out pretty good..

I'm going to do a B-series tommorrow. But this one will be very special, you will see why when I post the pics!

I would need a K-series motor first..lol.. I only got B and D...

My friend is going to give this valvecover to a cousin who has an RSX on Advan's, so we'll see what it looks like eventually. I did it more just to learn how to get crinkle.

I washed it with some Muric acid mixed with water (50/50), that makes it porous, then i primered it, and then layers of gold and grey to get the krinkle effect, then baked it for 10 minutes in my oven.
