Mullet style chrome of course. Pix is crappy but I didn't take it so don't yell at me.

golfer17 · 06-20-2008, 10:51 AM

here is a pic of mine when it was on my built motor. it now currently sits on a stock longblock, and has been in and out of the car enough times that its gotten pretty scratched up, not too mention it was painted about 3 years ago, but surprisingly it still looks dang good and is super shiny. I want to get it powdercoated the same color though, eventually, so it will be a little harder to scratch and have a more even color throughout.

UPDATE:

I did a lot of wrenching to get the motor running and it messed up the paint. So I invited a bunch of people over and gave everyone a can. Its all good though I got extras I'm working on.

MegasquirtCA · 07-02-2008, 08:19 AM

Did this for my friend. Most pain in the ass cover I've done.

JAEBEATZ · 07-02-2008, 01:00 PM

DreamN · 07-03-2008, 11:03 PM

wow julian, you've gotten really good with the PCing. I gotta get myself some extra covers so that I can finally do this shit.

J ROK · 07-08-2008, 01:35 PM

spray paint orange, then dabbed with black with aluminum foil

DreamN · 07-08-2008, 06:21 PM

^ lol wait? so you painted only so you could make it look grease covered all over again?

J ROK · 07-08-2008, 11:57 PM

Welll I painted it solid orange, then Mr. Wind came by and decided to blow a plastic sheet on top of my valve cover with almost full can of orange spray paint freshly applied.

So I said F*ck you Wind and made the best of it, Its really only temporary, I have a stripped valvecover im gonna paint sick, with a very nice clear coat.
