My attempt at Customizing my "Valve Cover"

[thecoolcutter]

Since I had alot of free time today I decided to start working on my valve cover. I figured i'd share my progress with you guys. I am no professional so it is not flawless but so far I feel good about the results. The job is not complete, but I will post pics of the completed job. I am still debating on the design I want so I just layed a layer of white while I make my decision.

Here are the pics! :D

I have a 4age vc i've been working with for a while. Since my first corolla. Never finished you and bucky may motivated me to finish.

From where? I bought 2 at Autozone for 14.

ive seen one with a jap flag thing on it. Looked pretty cool. But being you have a honda id say be completely original, something no one has ever done.

The cans cost like $7 each at Auto Zone. I used about 3/4 of the can to strip the valve cover, and it came off pretty quick.

I expect to see some pics of your finished product in the near future. Bucky actually motivated me! :D

Yeah no "Rising Sun" for me. Hopefully my design will be considered completely original.
