I painted my valve cover and coil brackets last week. Once I clean up under the hood, I will take some pics.

very easy to do actually. only PITA was the last coil pack (#8). Took me longer than it should have only because i did the painting at night so it took some time to dry. I let it sit over night cuz i was getting tired. Took me probably 7hrs total give or take some. That includes some messing around and talking on the phone. And yea..they do look better in person than the pics IMO
