I was cleaning my engine and i was looking at my black valve cover and it was looking realy sorry. The paint is chiping and it looks nasty. I was wondering if anyone painted the valve cover red useing VHT Wrinkle Plus paint and has a picture of it.

please post a picture or what you think of the red VHT Wrinkle Plus paint.

I search and found a pic of a black valve cover off a SOHC

Looks good to me

 

thanks man anyone have a closer look at one

 

here's a good one . this is vht wrinkle paint too

(precisionH23a's car)

 

know where or a name of a high temp white paint so i can paint the H and HONDA leters on the valve cover then paint the rest with red wrinkle plus

 

nevermind i found a VHT flameproof with for painting the white H and HONDA symble

 

Post pics when your done so we know how it comes out cause I know I'm also interested but I'm worried about it lasting.

 

its black n not an h23 but the paint still comes out the same way the more coats the bigger the wrinkle pattern thats the mistake people make when they only put on like 2 coats

What a ****** ricer

I've used the stuff before; it looks great, and wears pretty well. It's just like stock, just red.

 

Sometimes that **** doesn't spray properly... so you must heat the can up in hot water or keep it under a hot light for 10 minutes.

The wrinkle paint on the heatshield looks pretty cool haha. How well does it hold up to the heat though?

It holds up extremely well. Right now I have the VHT wrinkle red on my h22 cover, i've had the black and blue on a buddies car and it looks awesome and holds up to heat well.

 

Why not send it to a machine shop and have it polished chrome? It will turn out much better than painting. My buddies shop has H23 polished valve covers for sale and they look great.

well because he wanted to know how the vht wrinkle looked and. u cant have it chromed and polished but not polished to chrome...chrome valve cover = must have for other chrome parts.ie alt, covers,caps, intake, bolts, and any other parts...chrome by itself n nothing else chrome= ugly..machined and sometimes polished alum. is a dfferent story

it hold up fine considering its high heat paint. n it acctually does more than just look nice it helps keep the heat somewhat isolated under the shield...when i felt the shield after a ride it what just a little warm n the bolts holding it where scolding hot

 

lol wow this is a pritty old thread. im no longer going to paint the h23 valve cover because im getting a h22 head this summer for a h23 vtec
