nice work man, looks sweet! WHat kind of paint did you use? I'm very interested in doing this to my car too, as my engine looks like *** due to the salty winter roads here in michigan

RE: Valve Cover Mod

I vote for more info too! Did you sand it down at all first? Will the paint hold if you didn't? How did you get the 'Honda' silver, did you tape around it or do it by hand?

Looks fantastic, btw...

RE: Valve Cover Mod

its easy guys. Just get hi temp engine paint. Clean it.....u dont even have to take it off......just use masking tape around it. Then paint a light coat, let it dry, repeat until ur satisfied.

RE: Valve Cover Mod

man that looks good. i see when some people paint it they paint the HONDA letters, but i see you didn't. i prefer your way, makes it look nice and clean. real nice man. never hurts to have it look so good.
