Default painted the valve cover

since my car is down i decided this would be the perfect time to do my vc. after seeing this at the Honda-Tech meet in Richmond, i decided to do something similar


i just need to put a couple coats of clear on and i'm finished. since this was my 1st time shaving a vc, it didn't quite turn out how i planned, but still looks good, imo. had i took the time to sand everything, probably would have looked a lot better. i used VHT brake caliper paint.
