Valve cover lettering?

[anarchistchiken]

Ok, the last coat of paint is drying on my valve cover, but I'm torn between what I want to do with the letters. Should I leave them painted (gloss black) or sand and polish them?

The most active time of day and I havn't gotten one response?

polish

 

[toucci]

polish but be careful that the paint doesn't flake near the edges

 

[Mental Addiction]

We polish it and it looks great. POLISH

 

[anarchistchiken]

Then polished it shall be.

Here's what mine looks like. I just left the letters sanded, didn't bother polishing. I might try that if it would look better.

Polish, It will look like this but the word Mazda isn't as Cool as this one.. (evil)

 

[anarchistchiken]

Haha, nice.

 

[Witchdoktor]

[Robot Romeo]

[anarchistchiken]

Ok, it's polished. Well it's sanded, I dont have access to a dremel.

I was about to post polished, but I'm too late.(ughdance)

Ok here are some pictures of the engine bay over the last couple of days. I started with the vave cover then moved on to the strut bar, then the CAI. I painted a few little pieces in the bay like the engine lift point thing.

What paint did you use on the valve cover? I want to paint mine black as well. I thought about having it powdercoated, but that would cost more. What process and paint did you use for the valve cover? It looks great.
