looks good. im nto a big fan of painted valve covers unless they came that way stock. but good job, nonetheless.

You should get it HPC coated. Much more resiliant finish than spray paint..

well the paint was only 2 bucks for 1200*

as the paint is drying the color is getting darker so its not as bright as the picture.

there might be a few more surprises later

That looks real good. It reminds me of an old-skool Corolla valve cover or something. Good job!
