got bored saw valve cover and timing belt cover and decided to make it PURRTY
tell me what u guys think (be nice)
(and sorry mods feel free to move if in wrong section didnt know where to put it)
started off with 5-7 coats of hi temp black
added some bling alternated the glitter spray with hi temp clear about 5-6 times
added some drip effect to it then added 5 more layers of the hi temp clear and VIOLA powder coat look? check. powerder coat durability? eenhhhh IDK.

It looks like a valve cover you'd find inside something Ken Block would drive.
It looks really great though!

looks cool, I like it
thanx guys! stephen, i was actually thinking the same thing, im considering going over it with a couple more lines. believe it or not i was hesitant on doing the lines but without it, it looked too plain for my taste.
should i do the timing belt cover with the green lines? and the relay covers? my first thought was to leave it alone. didnt want to get too crazy...

At first I was all...
Then I approved. Looks good! I don't know if I'd do the lines on the timing belt cover or anywhere else, but I'd at least do the glitter black.
