Smoothed Valve Covers++ Here are mine finished!
I left the rearest tab on because i was going to mount my relo kit there but i have changed my mind, i am going to mount it under the whiper cowl. Installed pics on car will come when i put the motor back in the car.
All steps were tack ragged and waited on flash times.
Thanks, Pheonix
Primer
After sanding the primer with 400grt and spraying it red where Trans Am decals go.
Black base sprayed over the entire piece.
Peeling off the decals to expose the red letters.
After peeling.
Finished product after two coats of clear.

Holly crap! Absolutely the best set of valve covers i've seen painted.
I just re-installed mine after some valve train work...I did do a touch-up re-spray of black paint - but It looks nothing like your set.
I might need to remove them and re-do the project.
