painted my spark plug cover gunmetal with white and red letters..

here ya go

^^first coat

^^ white letters hand painted

^^ red letters hand painted

^^ on the engine

 

Hell yea *****!!! Great job!!

 

damn that does look nice... will do that after i start to actually get around to modding my car

 

Um, thats not the valve cover. Still, good job. FYI, this is a painted valve cover.

 

correction was made, thanks

 

Nevertheless it still looks professionally done. Great job!!!

 

that looks awesome! looks like I have something to do tomorrow

 

yea it can be done in a day, it might take longer since its starting to get cold, at least it did for me. i like the way it turned out, today im painting my CAI pipes to match and then im looking for red silicone sleeves for the hose clamps.

 

change the name, dont take down the pics... Lemme see


EDIT---- Looks like cardomain isnt working, I hate how firefox doesnt show red X's it just leaves a blank.....

 

red x pics dont work

 

I'll add my mine here too:

 

i dont like the red V6

 

nissan calls it the "rocker cover"

 

 

crap man, i wish i would've thought to paint my spark plug cover letters by hand... it took me about 2 hours to mask off those letters and the center piece like i like it...

it did turn out nice, and its been like half a year and no fading what so ever has occured... im very proud of it... one day ill sand it, prime it, and re-paint... but that to me really makes the engine bay... and a little chroming doesn't hurt either!

 

Tyler/anyone using Firefox—here's how to enable image placeholders like IE:

Type "about:config" in the address bar and hit Enter
scroll down to "browser.display.show_image_placeholders"

Double click it and it will change from "false" to "true".



EDIT: This only seems to work if the image has ALT text specified...I'll see if I can find a way around that.

 

That looks pretty good. I like the gunmetal color. Nice touch.

 

loks nice. man crimson blaze is a bright color.

 

Looks good, Irishmax99, but it would look better if you EITHER changed the white letters to black OR changed the gunmetal background to black (and kept everything else the same). IMO.

 

do you guys use high-heat engine enamel type of paint or just regular spray paint??

 

what would you use?

Duplicolor engine enamel is rated at i think 400 degrees... but they also make high heat which is rated at 1200 degrees... thats what i use to paint everything with...

 

lol uhm... my friend gave me the paint, and i didnt realize it was such a gay orange red color but watever

 

The high heat paint is only rated to the 1200 degree level if you bake it after its applied. My guess is that you didn't bake your plastic plug cover. This means that it is only regular 500 degree stuff. 500 is plenty for everything but exhaust stuff.

 

well damn sorry for doing sh*t on the run
from the spark plug covers i have seen in this thread irishmax has the nicest one.

 

wtf? ^

 

[team america]ENGRISH![/team america]

 

bahahaha

 

VHT spray paint is up to 900 degrees, its some good stuff

 

here is mine so far. waiting to here back from someone about polishing my spare valve covers.

 

yeah, i think i got that same ghey orange-red... but it still looks better than stock...
