Mr Hammond

I've got a lighter yellow that I did mine. I'd definately suggest another color than yellow. It STAYS dirty.

EDIT: It's a sohc. PM me if you want pics.

good idea, thats what i thought too, its hard enough keeping the red ITR vlave cover clean.

Just fyi. If you didnt know allready.

The spoon valve cover is powder coated yellow and its smooth. No wrinkle finish so cleaning it is as easy as wiping it off.

So If you want to still do the color change look into how much it will cost to get your valve cover powder coated. That way it wont be nightmare to keep clean.
heres a pic.

Correct-o-mundo. Also, when you see the yellow paint starting to chip away, you being to see the red ITR valve cover underneath it (usually around the spark plug holes first).... after some serious abuse, it'll look like a McDonald's sponsored valve cover

what should i use to get all the stock stuff off? mine is pealing and cracking really bad so it needs a new coat of paint

weird......why wouldnt they just strip the red paint off? Were they trying
to keep the krinkle finish? I havnt seen a spoon valve cover in person,
that just seems kinda ghetto to me.

hey man... i had a friend the other day that thought about what your thinking of doing but instead of picking the yellow he picked a flip-flop color from wal-mart... that might sound like rice but to me it looks badass......

would have looked better if the letters were left polished.

You honestly don't think it looks good now??

Theres no way I would have gone though and taped off, vaselined...whatever the letters, thats pretty time consuming... I was thinking of grinding the letters off before I would ever have taped them off.

B_CRUZ!

no need for all of that. just use a blade. it comes off easy. but IMO it looks good all painted.

Block sander + varying finer grits of sandpaper = perfect polished letters/painted valve cover
