Default Painted my Valve Cover
It took way longer than it needed to but I wanted to stay with the factory style wrinkle coating so I ordered some VHT wrinkle paint. Had to paint it twice because the first time i didnt notice a couple runs until i took it out of the oven. I stripped it down and painted it agin this time no runs but im still not 100 % satisfied with it because its not as wrinkly as the OEM coating, but it still looks good

BEFORE


AFTER



.. I have a matte carbon fiber spark plug cover and the Down Force Heat Shield to install and so more carbon fiber pieces on order


...yes i know shes dirty
