changin valve cover plans

[Michael Cummings]

after talkin to a few people who polished their valve covers and hearing about their troubles i think i have changed my mind on polishing it
i was originaly going to polish the whole cover......scott girvin told me about how ugly his looked and how much time he put in it even with the proper tools....so i dont think i want to mess up..so now i think i'm going to paint the cover a really high gloss enamel black and then polish the tops of all the letters....then pick up a bc dsm wire cover and polish that...i think that will look equally if not better than a polished cover with the polished wire cover
i almost think it will look better entirely
opinions?

ohyea i posted this thread here instead of the lounge cause the island section seems to not have much action

[Wade Carlson]

damn man and i had my heart set on a polished one


hmm all black with polished lettering would be nice though

i'll take one!

[Michael Cummings]

i can still try the polished one on your cover if you want wade...its just that i'm not sure how it will look...i've heard some say it looks awesome and some say its shit...so i dunno..its a gamble..kinda no goin back on it either....
with the black painted one i think theres less chance of it lookin shitty...plus i think it would look sweet with the polished letters and cover....polished cover with the polished valve cover would almost be too much i think
it'll be a really shinny high gloss black

[Michael Cummings]

just get that die grinder

[Wade Carlson]

he he no worries i will

all in due time

[Michael Cummings]

i'm gunna do a little write up thing in the specs tech section of all the steps to doin the valve cover with pictures and shit

I'm doin mine around the 23rd, painting it metallic blue and i'm polishing the tops of the letters too... blue to match my couplers

[Michael Cummings]

i was gunna do blue but then i realized that i dont really have any blue..and my car is silver and black..so i think black with polished letters will be good

Yeah, I've seen another cover in the pics department with a black paintjob, and it looked pretty slick.

I think white and blue go together pretty good

well white and any colour would go together good, but Ryan didn't have any red couplers for me!!! heheh

[Michael Cummings]

yea i'm thinkin black with polished letters would look good on my gun metal car

[Eric McIntyre]
