Well when I did my valve cover my clutch had gone out and it was sitting for 2 weeks until I got the $ for the ACT clutch I put in.
I took the valve cover out and hand sanded it and painted on it for a 3 day period. I would prime it then sand, prime and sand then yellow and sand and repeated til it was nice and smooth and the end result that you see in the pics. If I would've had a dremmel or something of that nature it probably would've been a little easier but good ole elbow grease never hurts.
Well I have quite a few mods to my car and all I've pretty much done myself w/ the exception of doin the clutch. I couldn;t really tell you what he best one was but the Valve cover came out better than I thought for a first time try and not sure what to do...
