    Check my new Valve Cover out!!

    I used the Harley Davidson "Texture Black" spray can, then ground off the ribs and letters.
    What do you think of it?





    Enjoy.

          Yeah, i thought it was wrinkle-finish when i bought it, and i was Actually disappointed when i sprayed the first coat.. but now im extremely happy it is what it is.

          As for sanding/ grinding down.. the Perfect tool is..
          A small block of hardwood , and Porter-Cable 100grit Stick-On sandpaper, for use on wood/metal/ fiberglass, etc. Resin Coated.
          It works magically.

                  Are you being serious? I really hope not.

                  I got some Toyota spray paint - wanna guess where?

                  It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                        well, i went to the HArley Davidson dealership, whoda thunk they had it there?

                        i mean i looked everywhere for this harley davidson brand paint, but walmart didnt have it, sears didnt, none of the auto stores had it.. , Ebay didnt even have any...

                        so i finally found it at the HD dealer for a whopping 21 dollars a can.

                        (sorry man.. but it was a poor question.. unless of course you dont have a HD dealer in your town, in which case it is ok.)

                        i recommend the stuff.. even those its for Harleys... and were putting it on a BMW..

                              You can't send aerosol cans through the mail. They are prone to bursting due to the several changes in altitude and pressure suring shipping, and if it does, it will be traced back to you and you'll get quite the hefty fine. Trust me, I used to work in a post office for 2 years. Companies that ship aerosol cans do so using careful methods, and they are usually ground shipped.

                              That being said, your valve cover looks awesome. Golf, there's many different brands of krinkle-finish paint you can use, they all come out looking the same.
