painting service

hey guys ive been a member on here for a while now and havent post much at all mainly due to me waiting to get my lisence back next week so i can trade my 06 civic si in on a 07 honda fit. anywho....heres what im here for for now.

im looking for a lil bit of side work. this is what i do for a living but im trying to finish my cafe racer project bike so i need a little more cashon the side to help move it along. so i will only be taking on one project at a time so it might be a little time before i can get to the next person. heres a few pictures for you guys.
heres the first valve cover i did for my car which was sold when i parted my car.

this next one is a valve cover that i did for a member on hondasofnewengland.com. he saw the first one i did and asked me to do his along the same line but switch it up a little bit.

this is what i started with

and here is the finished product

im not limited to this type of painting i do airbrushing and basic painting also. if youd like something done just pm me well work out a design and a price and get the project rolling.

its about a week to a week and a half turn around time which is very quick for this kind of work. looking forward to dealing with you guys pm me for any questions/concerns. if your wondering if you can trust me or not since no one on here has dealt with me yet you can go to Hondas of New England and anyone there will tell you in a trustworthy guy. also i am paypal verified and have 100% feedback rating.
thanks guys
adam

that is a while as far as im concerned to be on a forum and not post. ive just been sitting back and getting a feel for the place and waiting till i got my fit to post. sorry for the confusing.

anyways....back on topic. yes shipping is easy and this is not just limited to valve covers or manifold covers, if you have something you want painted, you think of the idea or give me a drawing and i will do it.

What kind of paint do you usually use? The reason i ask is cuz some paints vary when it comes to heat resistance...

Thumbs up arrrrrg

I would totally help you out but i'm still waiting on this bonus. I should get it in the next week or two though. As soon as the paperwork has gone through and the money's in the bank i'll hit u up! The rising sun is dope, but its already been done, so while im waiting on the money, i'll brainstorm some ideas....

The quality of the work looks great, but something seems a little off with those rays. Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't all the rays supposed to be the same width at the point where they contact the center circle?

you are correct sir....the 2 on the upper left had to make up for some shifting due to the nature of the shape of this valve cover. there was nothing i could do about it at the time.

Gl with this. I think $100 is pretty pricey to have a manifold cover painted considering most people can do it themselves for $5. You seem to do a pretty good job tho so hopefully you can get someone to jump on this and from there maybe things will pick up.

P.S. there are tons of rising sun manifold covers. Look for the official manifold cover thread in the pictures/video forum.
