See, with your color, you need a 3 color theme... Of course 2 are already set and that's DSG and black... Now think about adding a few colored accents like dark blue, red, or yellow to the car... Then it will be easier to do projects like your valve covers/brakes/interior trim.

Matt86 · July 15th, 2011, 04:04 PM

I was thinking DSG for mine too. Keep it simple and clean.

That blue looks fantastic d00d.

yeah buddy, im honestly thinking to go the following colors on the whole car: DSG, chrome and black, but sometimes i think that black + chrome is hmmm, i gotta do some photochops and see how things will look like!

MRKsD3 · July 17th, 2011, 10:32 AM

There you go!

Plan1 - Chrome wheels - chrome exhaust - Gold or red Brake Calipers - Mach1 Chain (black in pic) - Painted side mirrors plastic - Smoked Head & Tails - Shaved side indicators

Plan2 - Same previous but with Black wheels and smoked "GT" emblems and Black Hood scoop

Honestly im thinking of doing a full DSG colored body parts with some interior panels and engine parts, but those pics for some reasons are killing me!

MRKsD3 · July 17th, 2011, 12:44 PM

^I like #2!

Matt86 · July 17th, 2011, 01:16 PM

id say #2 but no black hood scoop

Cobra Drifter · July 17th, 2011, 01:28 PM

Wow great job painting the covers! Looks OEM!
Now you said hte primer and clear are high temperature paint but what about the blue paint? Is it high temp too?

Maybe you should pick up a few sets and paint for people for those that cant do or dont have the time

Yeah jbenevides89, If I'd pay you, would you do me a DSG Valve cover?

jbenevides89 · July 19th, 2011, 08:02 PM

I was thinking about doing that. The only thing is I dont know how well it all will hold up and would hate to have it start to flake 4 months up the road and piss someone off. Ill look into getting some covers for different years and possibly selling them.

jbenevides89 · July 19th, 2011, 08:11 PM

Holy crap its hard to find valve covers that arent chrome or already did up...

Bulmug · July 20th, 2011, 12:41 AM
