Quality of work looks great, very nice and clean. My only suggestion is to get a sanding block and clear off the lettering on top. Should look great after that.

Looks really nice. Turned out better than mine. +1 for sanding the letters, can't wait to see that.

Wow.. That looks amazing, great work. Haha, I never have painted anything like that. So I don't know how to paint stuff :P. Too bad there isn't a DIY or anything around >_>.. I wouldn't mind practicing doing that to somethings..

lol, it would be cool to paint my DS Lite, or something [8D]. I don't think I could paint my valve cover, since I got a D17a and the cover is hard plastic (I think).

there's two DIY's on painting your valve cover, as well as one on painting in general.

nice work man, when you do your charge piping make sure you sand it or else the paint will chip off like crazy. i know from experience, even after 3-4 coats of paint.

^^^werd, I've had my share of s**tty paint work because of bad prep. I'd like to think I have mastered the rattle can paint job at this point..
