    Default How I spent my day.

    .93Lude and I painted my valve cover today. I'm very happy with how it came out and I think we did pretty good for our first time.

    The final product!


    In the bay...





    Paint wasn't perfect but it was pretty close to the color I wanted!

    It took around 12 hours, but it was mostly waiting for paint to dry and sanding and resanding. Haven't put it back in yet, I'm letting it sit overnight. I'll take a daylight pic with it on the car tomorrow.

    good job! Looks awesome dude!

    if you get some more time to clean, wipe down the engine bay and spray it down, it'll compliment the cover more!

    Thanks! Nautical stars all have different means for different people but it's basically every point represents a different characteristic usually independance, intuition, integrity, innovation and individuality.

    Thanks it's what I've been going for! It's damn hard to do on a strict I'm-poor-as-hell budget, but I'm slowly making progress! I'll post more picks of the headlights tomorrow.

    Thanks. It's really a hit or a miss with those headlights. You either like 'em or you don't. And I like them so that's all that matters.
