This week i was bored so i painted my valve cover from my project a3 motor that is sitting in my garage. Hopefully by march it be in the car i was going to paint it after the motor was in but it was a very boring week. So here it is see what yall think still need to put clear coat and sand the letters.

I first painted yellow then i put down a custom decal that i got from my decal guy. Then painted it black then once it was dried i pulled it off with a needle and some tooth picks. Then some clear coat all of the paint is for engines and good to 500* degrees.

I have heard many things in my life that have made me raise an eye brow. This would have to be a first.
