Old VC Wrinkle Black w. Shaved Letters
My newest VC. Custom Color Lolipop Grape. Letters to be shaved soon

Here is another pic of my v/c powder coated and a painted engine cover for my Mazda.

Shaved translucent blue powder coated valve cover with -10 fittings, and custom painted/color shaved injen spark plug cover.

I see you have those braided hose sleeves. How difficult are those to install? I've never looked into them, to be honest, but I've seen them at random parts stores. Seems to really clean up the bay.

Just saw this. Just wanted to clarify that I don't use those braided hose sleeves anywhere. I have a -8 bung welded to my valve cover and use real -8 braided line/fittings to my catch cant and to the intake pipe.

I like to take old nasty valve covers and make them pretty again.

awsome

hell yeah

That OP is not wrinkle red. This is wrinkle red.

this is what ive done the past couple days.

this is the valve cover from my project eclipse. I forgot to take a picture of it sanded. its a metallic blue. i also did my MSD ingnition in the same color.

Beautiful work, very good attention to detail

Ok, gotta ask. How do you guys not paint the letters? Do you paint then quickly wipe them off? Tape them up before paint? Which is easier?

When I had my intake powder coated I took a little grinding wheel to the letters. Then used a polishing wheel for the shine . should be the same concept with paint

You can also when using spraypaint, use some chapstick on the letters and peel it later.

i just took some sandpaper and held it on a flat block about 3" wide by 6" long and ran it back and forth on the letters until all the paint was off. very easy to do. then i sprayed the clear coat after sanding the letters to give it that shine.

Here is my valve cover along with the COP plate and turbo to match
The theme is Urban Camo like the Samco radiator hoses:

That's good work man. I like how you were smart enough to make the spots on the COP plate and valve cover match.

Never heard of AMG tuning anything but Benz.

Fresh paint! Black wrinkle with gloss red lettering. Tell me what you think.

It's a 6th Gen Galant with the N/A 4G63 FWD Type I and/or Type II
And yes it was indeed "Tuned by AMG"

Enjoy.

Friend of mine did this for me, midnite blue with metallic flake clearcoat.
Hand sanded all the letters and polished them as well.
A little more sparkly than id like but im not complaining for how much he charged

Here is my junk. Going to go with a new color scheme with a new valve cover I picked up from the JY ($12 w/ timing and plug cover)
