That looks nice, is there different colors and is it reasonable.

[ralph89891]

Yes he has different films/ graphics. Ill try and have him sample small festiva items so I can post. Price wise, hes just starting so hes not looking to make a killing. Hes in the process of dipping a spare b3 valve cover i have with a different design.

Where did you get your film from I just did some small block chevy valve covers with film from dip wizard but I like the pattern of that better. .
I tried to add a picture but my photo bucket is acting up.

How well does that process hold up with engine heat?

[ralph89891]

The valve cover was painted with engine paint, but im still going to test it. Ill run it in my car for a week and update yall.

Oh, I thought it was some kind of wrap or something. If it's a process that uses engine paint, then it should be fine.

There is a film process. So essentially the item was painted a base color, the film was applied on top of the base coat, and clear coated over.

Yeah the film and clear will hold up on anything that regular paint will withstand heat wise. The vc doesn't get very hot so you'll be fine.
That black and wHite sticker bomb looks good I've seen the color one but not black and white.
