Hey guys, just finished my TB install on my civic and I feel like dressing up the valve cover.

Questions:

1) If I choose to polish it, how do I do it...what do I need?
2) If I choose to paint it do I need HIGH TEMP PAINT. If so can I lay 2-3 coats of HIGH TEMP BLACK and then pick any color I want from home depot...like gold or something stupid. Its my beater so i feel like having fun here.

Thanks

polishing is very time consuming, as far as paint goes, you dont even have to worry about high temp paint, you throw 3 different colors of model car candy coat on there and you'd be fine, as long as you did all the prep work like sanding and cleaning and all that crap, just let the paint dry for a little bit

what type of grit do you think i should sand it with? something liek 100?

You don't need high-temp paint for your valve cover, you can use a basic spray paint, just prep it properly.

and you can get various pads with different smoothness's to polish or just prep for paint, something like this setup would be pretty cheap at harbor freight tools
