Just a few questions for you all of you Im considering painting my valve cover but im not sure what color to do the color of the car is blaze red I was thinking just a dark red since its my favorite color. Also I received today the MP nite shades spray im going to do the tails but should i do the front lights and side markers? Any feed back will be appreciated.

imo don't tint the headlights. do the tails, third brake light, and side markers only.

tails, 3rd brake light, and sidemarkers yes. Headlights

Get the ones wit the black bezel. They willl tie everything together IMO.

you will still need to get wet/dry sand paper 800 1500 and 2000 grit and then get some good clear coat and give it a couple wet clear coats took about an hour of labor and an hour of drying

Looks nice. And fuck only two hours???

Mine took about four but then again I painted, cleared, sanded and buffed. It looks really different on that color though. Ive never seen anything like it

na they are cheap vinyl ones from ebay. Im going to get some nice carbon fiber ones later these are to just hold me over until then and to make sure i like how they look. I would have done red but there is no blaze red srt 4 eyelids.
