Well I FINALLY got around to painting my lid to match my FRC's & figured I'd snap a couple quick pics. My camera isn't great, but here they are.

Nice!

 

Very very nice. Reminds me of how bad I need to get pics of my engine bay as well

 

Looks great. Love the valve covers, especially since they say CAMARO and not CORVETTE. Keep up the good work.

 

did u do the smoothing and painting yourself? if so how?

 

Yeah, I just filled in the Corvette lettering with body putty & used a filler primer that was wet sanded smooth before adding the base coat & clear coat. It was all done with regular Duplicolor rattle cans from Autozone. I just made sure that I took mine time & didn't rush anything. Same process for the lid, but that had to have the textured surface sanded smooth before I painted anything. That was probably the most time consuming part.

Here's a couple shots of the covers before they were installed.





I removed my A.I.R. system ahead of time so that I didn't have to modifiy the covers much at all.

looks pretty Shay

 

I love those! i want to make some like that but camaro z28 thatd be sick!

 

Just mock something up with the correct fonts & take it to a good local decal shop & they should be able to make anything you want. The stripes that I used at the bottom of the covers, along with the plaque on the lid came from www.afterthoughtsauto.com so no extra leg work needed there. The 5.7L, I just freehand painted with a paint marker which wasn't too tough.
