Default Question about 5th Gen prelude Valve Cover

HI, anyone know anyplace or a website that makes powder coated valve covers for a 5th gen prelude? I saw em once on ebay but now I can't seem to find em. Im talking about the ones that are glossy not just flat red or any other color. Any information would be greatly appereciated
thanks

its way easier just to pait t urself. go to an autoparts store and buy what call aircraft stripper. stip the krinkle coating off ur valve cover then clean the surface well, prime it, then paint it the desired color. you'll spend $200+ for a powder coated one. i think i spent like $15-20 on mine and no one could tell
