Re: Painted Valve Cover

Geek,
What you need to do is to get a box cutter razor and bend it in to a U shape then take the bottom of the U and scrape off the paint on the letters...

You should paint your battery next. Clean engine bay though really, I dont know about painted valve covers though, especially red. Not my thing.

Looks good man, even with the letters and emblem painted, but if you want the letters and stuff not to be painted it wont take long just to get a razor blade and scrape them
