So I plan on painting.....

This (valve cover)



this (arctic camo)



My friend Brett is an amazing artist, and he's painted quite a few things (emblems, grill, engine cover, etc etc) on his turbo'd TC. I was thinking of having him paint my rather boring LE5 valve cover in an arctic camo scheme. I think it'd look awesome with my white/black theme I have going, plus its got a kinda funky fresh appeal to it. We'd be using all high-temp paints of course.

Dicsuss.

Check out this link I found on VADriven.com (another forum im an active member on)

Its a place called CavemanRacing. They can actually powdercoat my valve cover arctic camo. The link shows a pic of a D16 valve cover (SOHC Honda engine for the n00bs) they did in arctic camo.

Yeah, I was just using that pic as a slight example. If you go on Honda forums, theres tons of camo painted valve covers. I just think some Chevy guys will have a hard time accepting their trend, lol.
