what are the options on them? iv done some looking around and have mainly found valve covers and spark plug covers for the vtec heads but not for the LS non-vtec head so is my best bet gonna be to paint it or maybe powerder coat? did a search and someone on here does some powerder coating but i cant have my car down for waiting for cover in mail. thnx

 

paint it yourself

Do a search in the AC forum and you'll find a lot of well-done DIY valve cover jobs.

 

Mugen makes one. But, I would go with a DIY route as well.

 

aight thanks for the quick replies and also for not flaming me for this question that possibly gets asked alot. thnx

Yea you would be suprised what results you can get, i powdercoated mine.

 

well i painted the one on my previous car and liked it but i wanted to get the valve cover on my teg the same color as my car which is a metalic copper but i just recieved an email from the guy saying he cant color match powders and hed have to order a 50lb box so price would be outragous. guess ill just rattle can it red or sumthing

 

lol.. if you'll settle for red rattle can, why not get it powder coated wrinkle red? or color match it with spray can?

 

In a thread on painting rims, someone stated that they got their paint code and got a shop (maybe the dealer) to fill a spray can with code matched paint. He then painted his rims the same color as his car. For the valve cover though, dont u need some high temp paint? I wonder if they can match the code for a high temp paint.

 

chrome

 

Here's my newer b18b/b20 valve cover on my all motor LS. I filled the PCV hole and grooves and shaved the HONDA wording from the top. I then prepped it and painted it with VHT wrinkle paint.

 

Anyone painted an LS Cover with the RED VHT wrinkle paint? Post some pics.

Here's my valve cover painted with red vht paint. I sprayed it a little to thick so the wrinkles came out to much.

stripped

 

nice valve covers!

 

man didnt mean to turn this into a valve cover pic thread but its all cool i like to see what everyone is doing. I really want it the color of my car and also i cant decide what color to get my AEM intake? dont have a color scheme to go with. My car is a metalic copper so i was thinking of the polished(crome) one but didnt know.

 

Why not just pick up a valve cover from a junk yard and have it powdercoated? My brother was able to find one in a junkyard, turn it in to the powdercoater and get it back in two days. I think he said it cost him about 120 dollars. Anyway, good luck.

 

I picked up a valvecover from the junkyard for $15, cause the local junkyard has about 10 integra ls's there. Just sent it to get powdercoated with a HT forum sponsor. TRG-Coating check him out

 

NSX formula red...

 

iv alrdy talkled to TRG-Coating and he told me that he cant color match powders withoutit being REALLY expensive cuz he has to buy a 50lb box of powder for such a small quantity
