Cover Art - for valves

IMO, which is just that and only that;

You should have stopped at the first photo.

The thing with me is I have to be told to stop a project or I keep adding to it. I agree a nice metal plate look like the first photo is cool, but I've made a lot of plain plating with airbrush, and I just wanted to try to take it a step further. I use 1shot when doing sign work and wanted to try it out for artwork. I do respect your opinion though.
