well guys you have me convinced for like red with maybe metalic flakes? how could I pull that off with a spray can?

 

Get that black/green imitation marble spray paint and throw that on there, now that would be hot ****, if it was high temp that is.

Mine is going to be yellow and black.. I know no one but me likes the yellow, but its starting to look pretty good. Just you wait until i am done, i will make some of you change your minds :-)

 

ya if ya want something different try and do some marblizing... now that would look nice...
but think about it..... with it being crazy colored youd think the same thing if it wasnt your ride!

OR DO YOU REALY WANT YOUR ENGINE BAY TO LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS.... JUST TO BE DIFFERENT....
LMFAO hahahahhahahaa

rofl nothing that crazy. but what is marbalizing? and how would I lay down some flakes of color on the valve cover and when would I do it? DIY maybe?

 

WTH is that car, it looks like an old cavalier.

Anyway, I don't think you can find hi-temp metal flake paint in just any place, you might have to find a speciality store, I haven't ever seen it in a local auto shop anyway.

I most metalic paints aren't really that noticeable anyway unless you get up close and focus on it. I would just do what most other people do, a flat color with some hi-temp clear coat to bring out the shine and protect. You can find Black, Blue, Red, Yellow on a regular basis at pretty much any auto store. You might be able to order a different color.

Here's a link to Dulpi-Color's website listing that shows all of their high heat, and engine enamel colors. Another brand might offer something different however.
Theres also a DIY video here, its pretty common sense, but it explains about the enamel set-up window, good to know.

 

i used some grey paint on mine, it looked really good for a while until it got all scratched up. but any paint will really work.

i would paint it hot pink tho just to be sweet.

That's where the ghostbusters keep the ghosts after they catch them, right?

 

Plan it out and do something cool man, that way it doesn't matter if you paint it basic colors. I can't for the life of me find the pic, but one of the dudes around here did a couple coats of white, then sprayed red over top in the design of the Japanese Flag. It looked pretty sick.
