it looks nice, but i think it looks like a closeup instead of like a plank. i was thinking about your nail design it would look cool if the cover looked like it was haggardly built out of wood with a bunch of bent nails.

 

ok tomorrow i'll tape it back in and spray some nails on it for you, making the grain smaller so it more like a 2x4 is no problem at all. on the valve cover its 3d so i can make it look WAY WAY more realistic, because the top would(no pun) be the rings, and the sides would(no pun) be lines off those following through like a real 2x4 is.

and if you want it to look haggardy i would airbrush in some chips likewhen you cut wood with a circular saw and it rips up the little peices on the end.

are you in though? if i get the valve cover i can check it out and plan it out, and draw up designs till i get one thats real good looking. i just kinda
freehanded that out real quick to get it to you, did you like the colors?

lmk cause i want you to really like it and not be upset that you spent 100$ and didnt get exactly what you want!
