What is a halfway decent valve cover to go with? I want a Different color or a carbon fiber or even a titanium one or chrome! Where can I find some cheap valve covers to give me the look I want?

 

just paint or powdercoat the one you have! it's cheaper and you have more control.. there are some on ebay if you want a fake mugen or spoon one though. here is mine:


it's black powdercoated w/gold flakes

 

Yea just paint yours

 

^^^^^ very nice. some of the best alve covers are diy. it adds ur own style. good luck and have fun with it

 

That is sweet. how much was it to get powdercoated?

 

i like the mugen valve covers

**** THAT! 700 bucks, are you serious?

 

I have a legit TypeR red valve cover that I want to trade for a black one + cash on your end, anyone down?

 

try TRG Powdercoating.. http://www.trgcoating.com I think that's right.. he's on Honda-Tech though & has good prices.

 

What kind of paint should I use?

oooooooh but so worth it buddy. they look absolutly beautiful.

 

I did mine myself and love it. its cheap and looks decent. most say strip it with aircraft remover and then use wrinkle paint. my valve cover paint was in good condition so i just painted it white over the black and then use the red over white and it still has that nice texture to it. takes a couple hours to do and is cheap

FYI: when using Aircraft Cleaner. Use it out side,and wear a mask. I inhailed that ****,and got sick as a dog.

if you have a hot tank or know anyone who has one at their job, take it there and get it hot tanked, thats what I did to mine and I put clearcoat on it and its damn clean, then if you wanna paint it, just pick your paint and DIY, and get er done
