Painted my valve cover.... *56K die*
Painted my valve cover.... *56K die*
My buddy and I were bored recently, so we decided to give a fresh coat of paint to my valve cover. The engine bay is getting the murdered out treatment (black IC piping, black intake piping, dark grey filter, black boost controller) so hopefully this will fit right in.
Anyway, on with the pics of how we did it.
Stock:
After a bit of initial sanding:
Decided to shave the pesky "Mg" symbol and "MIVEC TURBO" to make for a cleaner, flatter look:
Primed:
Whited out:
Cue the moneymaker for this project - custom cut vinyl overlays:
A couple coats of black:
Carefully remove vinyl with an x-acto knife, add a bunch of layers of clear coat, and bam! - final product:
