        I've been admiring his work for a while now. Have you checked out his webpage with his CAI and stereo work? Great skills there.

          It's a shitty, grainy shot (I didn't take it) but here is an Alfa 164LS 24v cover I did for my boss's dad's car in wrinkle red. It looks bad ass in person... It's damn near an exact match for the old (and maybe new) Ferrari red that they used here and there, though you wouldn't know it from the picture.

                  I went to a company how makes all kind of adverticement ..

                  they printed out the stripes (( the material is used on cars boats buses ,,[[heavy industrie]] ))

                  and measured the BMW letter// size + the stripes and the result is like you see,,, dead simple

                  easy job ,, VERY EASY

                  and cheap also ,,

                        after painting my valve cover and running the car, the paint looks like it is absorbing oil. Is my valve cover gasket just shot?
