Might as well paint it Baby blue or Racing yellow

There is a bed liner paint that resembles the finish on the oem covers. I would recommend using that instead if you wanted a clean look. The red totally causes eye sore.

I did use aircraft paint removal but my valve cover has paint peeling and it soaked oil-stain underneath.. so I cant even removed the stains!! thats why I paint it too. But yeah I just do this for fun, bcus I am saving for B18c swap in the spring!!

I used aircraft stripper and the finish was still shitty. You need to use a combo of aircraft stripper and spraypaint to get a polished look...i'm gonna go to town with mine later with some sandpaper...I want my intake pipe, strut bar, and valve cover to all have a brushed aluminum look
