Just reinstalled my valve cover and cab lights today. I was inspired by others painting their valve covers and did mine silver to match the truck with black trim. The valve cover is now the only thing clean under the hood!

Last week I had asked about painting the stock cablights from orange to black and took everyones advice and used Nightshade by VHT. I am happy with how it turned out. Tonight Ill go outside and get a couple pics with it dark outside. Let me know what you guys think!

 

Looks good i like it

 

Thanks. I am anxiously awaiting night to see how they look.....

 

Yeah. I was thinking about doing mine with night shades, i have big rig style cab lights. I would like to see how much light shines through and how bright they are.

 

Ok here are some night shots. I am suprised at how much light they actually let through.

 

Looks great!

Did you tint the taillights and 3rd brake light?

 

No. The truck is going in to get fixed after it got rear ended two weeks ago. Once I get it back ill have a look at the third brake light and see decide. I have some of the ram head tailight covers on now.

 

Man, that looks really sweet!

 

Looks great!! Especially that valve cover!

 

I agree.. looks good! I think painting the v/c is one of the cheapest things you can do for the visual impact affect. Here's another!

 

and another.

Where did you get the Nightshade by VHT??? It is a paint or tint?? Was it easy to paint? Is it possible to screw up??? LOL....

 

5point, what kind of paint did you use? She sure is glossy! Looks great man!

 

It's glossy probably just because it's clean..

Other than that, I think just basic Krylon, with 4-5 coats of clear (Krylon?) on top of it. I tried paint "made for plastic" and it sucked. I just used regular paint, but did a lot of prep (sanding, cleaning..) and so far it's holding up.

 

Awesome, i was just worried about the HEAT under the hood..
