    Painted My Valve Cover, and Scored Something at The Junkyard!

    Well here is my valve cover, I love how it turned out. Only 3 coats.






    Can you tell what I picked up at the junkyard?


    Look closer!


    Even closer!


    It was only $5.95. Does anyone want some SE-I parts....theres a gold one at a yard I know, all door panels/headliner/etc is in mint condition. I'm probably gonna get the rear discs though.

    If you lived closer...there wouldn't be a problem lol. plus...I actually am debating about whether or not to get the visor. Dont know if it will match my interior too good, as it is tan.

    You should have took some paint stripper to that valve cover and then wet sanded it to get it perfect.

    I would have stripped it and wet sanded, but I just sanded then laid 3 coats on for now. Time was a big concern for me when I was doing it. I had limited time. Possible redo in the future, but good enough for me now.

    Did you use a whole tube of Silicone to seal the valve cover? I never used any on mine and it seals perfect. Looks pretty ghetto.

    It looks like a bunch of smurfs gang raped your valve cover, cut off the access silicone. The visor looks nice though, i just got one for my car and i love it. Now all you need is the door visors.
