Ok a buddy of mine is doing a b18/b20 vtec swap into his sons integra this weekend.. well they gave me his cover and said have at it,, whatever i wanted to do....

he did the same thing with his b20 turbo civic, and loved his...

well this time i decided this would be appropriate ... the funny thing is everyone loves it in person ..

again their are many photos to try and capture different lights to show the true detail.. if any of you have any of the valve covers i have done, you know what i am talking about.

if your bored an want to see some of my work...

here is my cb7 thread.. KeelesKustome : 1993 Accord EX - CB7Tuner Forums

on that same sit me GSX thread. KeeleDesign: 1998 GSX evo III turbo setup. - CB7Tuner Forums

i guess i need to make some on here. i just didn't feel the same kinda welcome on here as i did on that site.

Heck right now i am trying to support my family and brother, and man if they haven't jumped in and helped.
A time of Tradgedy. please help. - CB7Tuner Forums if you don't wana read it.. basically my brother was in a bad accident, and the comunity came together and is helping by donating money.

I wish i could change my name on this site.. My Shop is called KeeleDesign..

anways, like i said, i'd ###### charge around $150 shipped for any cover design, when i get up and running again.

what up with making us look at hoda parts all day. ahaha just kidding, i did see that ONE 4g63 in there. hey i like that silver "big mike" one. how much to do a 4g63 like that..... just not the mig mike part

i know....
i just never had any intrest outside of this site for the 4g63t's.....

I figure if i could make a plate for the center i could smooth all the letters down and have a heck of a canvas for art on them.

I almost forgot to show you my wifes glove box on her 06 civic..

After seeing some of the others up here I'm almost embarrassed to show mine but here it is anyway. 2 coats of cherry red pearl with 2 coats of candy red over it with a black pearl (looks like graphite) plug valley all with 3 coats of clear. I took a few pictures with different lighting and a close up to show the pearl.

 

[90redtalontsi]

whats up guys i painted the vc today let me know what you guys think be as harsh as you want i dont really care casue i like it and its gonna look sick once my car is murdered (blacked out) out come spring or summer right now its the origanol red from 1990 so it needs to go and the old valve cover was a terrible black paint job all flaking and stuff so lets here the comments guys!!!

 

[90redtalontsi]

here it is dried im gonna paint the letters and numbers black tom i dint get around to it today plus im letting it dry

Personally I think that you should sand off the paint on the letters and polish them but that's just my opinion.

 

[AshTsi]

I think it would have looked better if you didn't paint the oil cap pink too.

 

[dylnwit]

OP- nice paint job, but honestly not my color, I do agree that black would work well on the letters, if your really skilled with paint, you could do the sides of the letters (vertical part) in black, and maybe like 1/4" around the bottom of them in black, and do the brushed metal look on top of them, but I don't think just doing the brushed metal look on the top of them would look good. I would recommend looking into a new cap, most of them leak after 15 years or so, and would probably look nicer than repainting that one.

jdombrow- seal replacement really depends on how the old one looks, but I would recommend it, new gasket from Advance is ~$30.

 

[daygloworange]

Pink...Nice. I went with hugger orange for mine.

How does it look?

Can someone post a picture of a valve cover with the lettering "mitsubishi" on the top with the cover painted black and the words painted red? Thanks

Jason

hmmm.. that wasn't my goal... Unless your just being sarcastic....

I figured others would be inspired to do it as well,, kinda like an eye opener.. of different possibilities..

 

[jdd1231]

Well,others may be inspired to try,but airbrushing like you showed is a talent,and not alot of people are as artistic as you.

Doing lines and other designs are one thing,but ghost skulls?

I wouldn't know where to start......
