Default Painting Your Valve Cover

Sorry dont have before pix. Only after pix.
It looks better in person but I wished I would of done silver instead of white.

I went thru hell to get this to look half way decent. I might change it later on!
Everyone says it looks like a zebra or a cow lol. It took like 1 or 2 cans of primer , 1 can of white , & 1 can of black high temp engine paint , painters tape , & sand paper.

I wanted to be unique and try something new. For everyone who doesnt kno what this is supposed to be , It is the japanese rising sun aka jdm sun.

the pix are hard to see. you'd have to see it in person. you can see the letters and everything in person.

you'll find people that hate your mods no matter what. Get used to it. Personally I would've gone with red sunrays instead of white, and covered up the emblem like he said, but it's your car. If I saw it in person, I would not laugh, I would keep my mouth shut about it.

i think it looks pretty good. im looking at the lighting in the pic and i think thats why you cant see the letters. so i think it would look alot better in person, so good stuff.
