hmmm...well it looks sharp, it's definitely a job well done.
I just personally don't like the green. but what kind of paint did you use? how did you paint it on?

Ah nice. I knew this dude that did his d16 valve cover black with the metal letters. You like paint the whole thing, then just block sand the top of the letters to bring it back to metal. Nice job. I'm just going to get mine chromed.
