[DecoyOctopus]

ok bout a week ago i was lookin for this vht paint to do this. anyway i did a red wrinkle...yea yea yea been there done that but its not on a honda this time. and no im not no type r wanna be. im tryna make it look like the mazdaspeed miata vc. i was originally gonna have the bucky do it but im a cheap ass :D

as i was maskin stuff off i realized that the lettering on the valve cover sunk in and i wanted it to contrast...so i was stumped but then i decided to just paint it in with nail polish. i got some gold nail polish and paintbrushes from wally world, i put some nail polish on a spoon and stuck it in the oven it diddnt change color up to 250 degrees, but i still dont know how long itll last. screw it tho imma do it. I started spraying, 3 coats, 5 mins in between and all in different directions.

Cooked it for bout 2 hours at 200 degrees

bout 7 of hours later i started filling in the letters with the paint and this is how it turned out

i think gold letters with red paint looks good. and i guess it matches the car cuz its red with gold spinners. it dont look very even in this pic but its a ****ty camera phone picha.

anyway let me know what you think umm i got 2 and a half cans of wrinkle paint left if anyone wants a wrinkly red valve cover lets do the damn thing

lol great job on the cover.. looks awesome.. name brand of paint? I want to do mine in black..

[DecoyOctopus]

its vht red wrinkle...its hard to find but the black wrinkle isnt. if you live round lawrenceville call up lawrenceville auto parts they can get you any color next day. my stupid ass went to mcdunouh (spelling?) to summit racing to get it.

[Humphrizzle]

i live far away from there.

I'll just go to advanced or something.

Engine bay looks like you can eat off of it. But you need a wire tuck.

[DecoyOctopus]
