valve cover and bov

[93_tsi_fwd]

I was up all night till 5 or 6 am. I was getting bored playing video games and I didnt have anything to do.

This all red valve cover was hanging of more than a year in the garage. I took it down and decided to paint it. Then I found an extra stock blow off valve and painted it too.

RUST-OLEUM high performance enamel paint.

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

How much you think I can sell this?

Valve cover and blow off valve

 

[ryno]

I think it looks good, dont like the little black marks on top of the BOV...but everything else looks good!

 

[talonalex92]

looks great man, especially the vc.
i always like the black on the inside.
personally, i wouldnt buy it since im not lazy and id rather wait and do it for free, but put it on ebay and im sure someone will pop out like 120, 150 ish

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

I sold the valve cover for $80.
Is that price good or its too cheap?

 

[liquidloot]

How did you tape the letters off? I'm going to do a valve cover today, and i'm wondering if theres a easier way besides a razor + painters tape. Or if anyone knows a good techniqe to do it
.

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

I was going to do the tape and razer to color it but it took to long. I have a pin striping paint brush and I used that instead. Just do it slowly.

I know I didnt like the black line on it. So I repainted it just plain red on top.
