JDM prelude valve cover color ?
I'm thinking of painting my valve cover to the same color as the JDM prelude valve cover, what paint should I use to make a close match ?

blue or red...you can pick up the genuine article for $160. If you're going through the trouble of painting your valve cover, why not make it match the color scheme of your car?

Couldn't you remove the pait on it now and use the texture that it already has and just re-paint that way?...Doesn't aircraft remover take the pait off? I'm not sure but I'd also like to know how thats done.

So can you do that...just re-paint it after stripping the factory paint.. If so what kind of pain should someone use? I know it wasn't me asking the question about the valve cover, but i'm just curious.

I was told that VHT wrinkle paint was pretty good. It can take alot of heat and have that stock texture.

thw wrinkle paint does retain the stock texture... once u strip it and repain it with just spraypain the texture will be gone... not completely... but most of it

Re: JDM prelude valve cover color ? (ek9t)
I am not at all artistic... How much would it cost to have it stripped painted an powdercoated? Also, would a store be able to match the color to the candy red color of an aem cai? And does anyone know of any stores in So Cal?
