It took a while to do, but I painted CORRECTLY. The first picture is what the first one turned out looking like after a few months.



The second pic is my new one that I took forever to do (very thin coats over a long period of time so that everything cured right). For the letters, I just sanded all the paint off with very small pieces of fairly fine sandpaper.

 

prettayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

looks like a pretty clean job...didn't want something shiny tho?

 

I think the dull color looks nice. The color adds like 10 hp anyway

 

great job. looks like quality work to me :thumbup:

 

Nah...I have a polished sleeving kit (did it when I first got the car and almost went rice crazy...doesn't look bad though) so I thought that a polished cover might be a little TOO much bling factor. I might polish my botched attempt and try to sell it though...we'll see.

10 hp? SH*T...they told me it was 40!

 

Next time use some clear coat.
I'm just teasing, it came out nice. Your heat shield is begging for some TLC. You ever think about maybe painting it flat black or something. Ah hell, call me a ricer but I think it's an idea.

 

would the valve cover ever get above 400 degrees?

 

High temp paint ownz. :fawk:

 

when i went to homedepot, all hightemp (the ones that can withstand 1200 degress or higher) had no gloss colors, only dull. ive painted my heatshield flat black already.
