    Painted or custom valve covers for miata / cam covers, engine covers

    Just cause I'm proud of my odd colour choice (and tried finding a thread to post this in)... feel free to show off your engine's colour choice

    mine is candy chocolate over a silver base... partially shaven (just left the mazda logo)

    the texture does look odd, but the color is sick and your strut bar makes me jelly....

    It was suppose to be a wrinkle red, looks alotttt better from further away but close up it looks sorta weird and cracked. I found it a very hard process to do, to much looks HORRIBLE and to little dosnt wrinkle, and prepping took so long that after I did it the 2nd time even though it wasnt perfect I kept it. The strut bar is just a cheap ebay strut bar with a sticker I think it was honestly like $25-$40 shipped

    Pagin Ham... he has my old valve cover...


    Hard to tell but the VC is a flip-flop blue/green sparkle. It was very... glittery:

    Here's mine, powdercoated black bronze illusion (changes colors under different light). I hand-painted the letters to match the car's color.
