Default Little bit of paint really makes a difference...

Had some free time yesterday so I picked up a few cans of trim/touch-up paint. Came out pretty good for spray paint.








And some shots of the newly painted valve cover.. (1200º "aluminium" paint and Sapphire blue metal flake for the plug cover)




Total cost = less than $20

I was going to but ran out of tape. Had to resort to using duct tape to mask off the last mirror..

lol, spinners were a joke. I'm looking to throw either Si's or perhaps some of the GAB knock-offs on.
Car has a JDM H22A w/ M2B4 LSD-equipped transmission, T3/T4 blurbo, TiAL 35mm wastegate, TiAL BOV, custom exhaust, 3" intake, FMIC, etc..etc.. Just the basics but all in all, pretty much your average D16Y8 ..

you still have the jdm el gauges? how much you want for em?
your set up sounds nice... you have stock internals? how much boost are you running? do you still have the carbon fiber covered jdm fog lights? how much? and do you have any additional mods for a h22 that you dont want? do you still have your yellow lude?

you should have painted the letters black first and then put vaseline/lotion on them and sprayed the cover silver. when the paint is finished drying you just wipe the vaseline/lotion off and you have black letters.

Still have the gauges, throw me an offer. stock internals, 10lbs of boost. Sold the fog lights and covers to Doc Brown like 8 months ago, no other h22 aftermarket parts and I waved good bye to my Prelude this morning as it left for Georgia.

Don't have any vaseline/lotion, but I'll make a note to get some for next time..
