Stock covers still, was going to paint them but have been lazy. I'll probably make the cover look on fancy once I put a F20c in.

Yup, What's up Dino. Tried logging into my OkinawaLevin account, but no longer use the email account it was attached to, so I cannot retrieve my old password. I've been wanting to try the lace painting myself.

Guys do I need to change the gaskets if I change my valve cover?

Also does anyone have suggestions for how to paint the letters on a 20v? I want to do it all wrinkle black then maybe silver letters, should I just use a brush after I spray it

yeah, change the gaskets.

my old 4ag valve covers were red with silver letters. what i did was spray them all red, then sand the tops of the letters. then clear coat it. lasted a really really long time too!

Anyone got tips or suggestions on how to paint a Blacktop plastic spark plug cover to look nice? I was thinking do the valve cover and spark plug cover in VHT wrinkle black, then make the letters silver somehow. Would a brush be a good idea? Should I attempt taping off a border around all the letters, that sounds kind of difficult to make it look perfect
