It's a marble with a candy green airbrushed on it, I think, that's how I've done peices like that before. Nice job.

Most dsmer's like them plain and clean, not all that fancy showboat stuff, we'll leave that to honda guys so blah... so dont tell us how you do your custom designs.....

Enough honda stuff and more DSM covers...!!!

,
that staement was rather oxymoronic......

I agree dsm's being plain and simple is the way to go, i think that about all of them not just dsm's, but honda people pay good money for bass boat flake and random designs. sooo.....

dsm covers are normally a no go.

Mine.

The red stripe on the plug cover actually ties in well with the couplers and motor mount, even though it's completely unintentional.

I posted this years ago in the thread.

Now I am cleaning out my basement and selling this valve cover, check the classifieds!

mine are powdercoated not painted.... I like powercoat more, less prone to being scratched, can take heat better, and looks better IMO

the color is called Lollipop purple and its a 3 stage candy. Pics really do it no justice because there is so much depth missed in the pics.

That's yours? I visited with Martin a week or so ago to drop some stuff off. He said it's been sitting there for awhile now. When are you picking it up? What are the two holes in the cam side for?

Here's mine -

Need to work on my photography skills because there are candy flecks in it. Just need the right amount of light to catch it.

No thats not mine its Alex from dog box ....this is martin dude what did you drop off?

 

[SexyDSM95]

No thats not mine its Alex from dog box ....this is martin dude what did you drop off?

WRX rear tow hook and an Evo 9 valve cover for some custom work like Chris has and Alex. That's just to start, . Once I get that stuff back and check the quality, I will have a box or two to drop off to him (water pipe, o2 housing, Evo exhaust mani, strut bar, etc.).

The DSM valve cover I posted above was done by BoneHead Performance. Although great, they don't do the custom work Martin @ LPC does.

I have a spare valve cover and I want to shave and polish it.
What are y'all using to get it down to the metal?
I was thinking some kind of stripper , but I wasn't sure the easiest way to go about it.
Thanks
