My custom painted valve cover
After seeing how nice some of the cars looked at Hyundai Sunday 2006 I decided to try my hand at some custom paint work on my own valve cover.
Here is sample pic
The rest of the pics and a little DIY are located here:

I hope you like it. It turned out better than I expected.

^^^ I have seen others use regular paint and it has lasted for years and still looks great.

Re: My custom painted valve cover
I have a friend who bought his car with a painted valve cover, and the paint comes off like it is rubber under coating. Allthough he got shafted with this car, honda with a half-assed engine swap. The guy did a shitty job with the whole car, I will stop here not to get off topic completly. That high temp thing is almost a must.

Re: My custom painted valve cover
Here is a pic of 2UNIQ's engine bay. He used the same paint I did and he has had his done for about two years now.
Looks good to me.

Re: My custom painted valve cover
Well it looks good and I stand corrected or it is just a honda thing. Did he polish his cylinder head?
