Like i said it was my first time doing it. Even my neighbor who owns a teggy said it would look good with red rays. But i was trying to be different.............black and white goes with any color. What about silver? Instead of white?

pretty cool, not really seen it done on a H valve cover before, or in those colors. For your first time props, cause i cant paint worth of shit.

if you wanted to, take some sand paper and sand the top surface of the letters down and polish it to give it a metal surface look. or you could shave the letters off all together and repaint it. Either way i like it good job.
