Not bad. Should've sent your VC to 8urcivic though. He's Clubintegra's professional valve cover painter.

why waste money when you can do it yourself and learn. this isnt a forum for sending your stuff away and paying someone else to do it, this is for learning and growning with your own car.

as far as vht high temp paint i thought it was toooooo orange, im going to get a can of krylon and darken the red. i think the vht will work as a good primer and hopefully the krylon red wont flake off.

yea it has a little hint of orange but not as bad as the picture puts out but yea i might try that... and yea i dont see why if you want to learn and become good at something why you have to send it in to be painted, it takes time and practice and sometimes it just might turn out to be just as good or even better then if you were to spend 50 or whatever dollars it is to have it 'professionally' painted.

I use a razor to scrape the paint off the Honda motor company thing. Took no time. Masking it would take forever!!!!! As far as color I think I'm going to do a deeper red or a silver. I haven't decided yet
