MEEESTA SPARKOH!!!!

So I am going to be changing my timing belt soon and it soon struck me that it would be the perfect time to get creative with my valve cover..So after days of contemplating styles and colors, I decided to go with a deep red layed over a metallic base coat.As the ball started rolling, one thing lead to another and the situation soon snowballed into a glittery ruby sparkly delicious mess..

Then I layed some red over it, a couple coats gave it a deeper "ruby" tone to it



and finally shot it with "glittery" clear, end result:
