Well I wanted it to look nicer...so I did...its goin to stay polished til I feel like powdercoating it red

I like the color...sadly I have work in 20 so I only could put one coat on...but so far it looks good to me...
So... let me get it all straight... white car, black trunk, bright red valve color. Love the clean, smooth transition. Good flowing theme dude!

lol ya well im deff goin to then im going PC it...the guy who's goin to do it is pro..candies, 2 tones all that...post pics when its done...shouldn't be too long just need some money lol
I'll officially be doing this to my eco cover!
Its goin to be annoyin though less you get lucky...mine had so many flaws in the metal...took forever to clean it up even AFTER i polished it
I believe ecotec valve covers are harder to polish due to all the dips and grooves they have.
Cover looks great man
