Gold leaf script valve cover. Always wanted to do something like this. Two versions...one has the black highlights.

Jtrux · 11-29-2008, 08:43 PM

How does it adhere??

Cyclone44 · 11-29-2008, 08:50 PM

The one with the black highlights is awesome....Well they both are...

..it's just my favorite...

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-29-2008, 08:51 PM

The black one really does it for me sweet.

It adheres with a liquid adhesive that is applied before the gold leaf.

I painted the script black on the second attempt before applying the gold leaf. I will do them later with real gold leaf...using imitation leaf now. The black really makes it pop. I can't wait to see it on the engine.

Thanks for the compliments.

I should be doing body work but I am running out of room in the garage and now need a big shop!!!! Sometimes you have to take a break and make something pretty and shiny for a change...I get tired of the primer...LOL!

Those will make a nice detail on a gold truck.

HomerJ · 11-30-2008, 09:10 AM

I like the black outline, too.

Go with a more stock-looking radiator, though...

Looks very good.Should be a nice detail you wont see on every other ride at the local cruise.
BTW the typical rainy day project is WET SANDING no bucket needed.

Those look awesome!
