Default Where can I buy a Blue Valve cover?

Does anyone know what I can buy a blue valve cover that has wrinkled paint just like the stock valve cover for a b16 or gsr that says DOHC Vtec on it?

you can't. at least OEM.


your best bet is to paint it yourself. or have someone else paint it for you.

sell me yours, Ill paint it wrinkle blue, and sell it bck to you for an outrageous markup!

seriously, just go to advance and get some Tal-strip paint remover (one can will do it all) and some dupli-color high temp wrinkle black, paint it, then do one coat of hi temp blue. Many debates over whether you need hi temp or not, but why risk having to redo it?

#1 you DONT need high temp.
#2 you're talking about 2 seperate cans of paint.
#3 even if you do need to redo it, you'll have to buy that second can of paint anyway.

The avatar pic is from my car and I painted it but its not the wrinkle paint and it also scratches super easy every after I put hi-temp primer, hi-temp paint, and hi-temp clear coat. I thought the clear coat would make it less likely to scratch but it didnt help.

There are some OBX blue ones that are wrinkle paint and look really good but they have the DOHC Vtec shaved off of them. Anyways I guess it sounds like no one sells them.
