Sick of seeing my old cover plus it got some mad scratches on it after turbo installation. I was going to polish that sh_t but got lazy.
here some pic of project bling bloud

I start out taking that pos out, spray the inside with degreaser, rinse and start spraying aircraft stripper on the valve cover.
striped out both coat of paint(stock=silver)
took me almost an hour to clean up all the little blemish here and there.
sand down and clean up with wirebrush and toothbrush.
melts like 2 pairs of gloves, everybody using the aircraft stripper should be carefully, that sh_t burns bad.
the grease is to cover the letter from getting painted, I'm still waiting for the clear coat to dry. the overspray on the block is removed of course, my 10 dollar project

wow

what motor does that valve cover belong to?

 

Wow, that looks pretty nice, good job.

 

 

looks sweet. good job.

 

Yeah, good job

 

looks good..what the hell is it from?

 

Looks like a 4banger Accord valve cover.

 

accord valve cover

nice color, im really diggin' it.

 

Did you originally paint the valve cover red while it was still on your head? Unreal...

 

you painted it on the car the first time? please clean that up.

 

It's a f23a4 aka 6th gen 4cyl vtec engine.
The stupid red paint is the masterpiece from me and cousin.
LOL..the tape came off i guess, but it's fine now, aircraft stripper took it right off.
it;s not inside of the block just the surrounding, fuel rail, etc.
kind of pita to remove the oem silver paint but it's worth it.

 

damn i like that

lets see some pics of it on the car.

Bling~
Most of the paint on the letter/texts came off without a fight, i end up using my blade to shave off some little spot

 

anyone tried this with automotive paint remover?
thats what im gonna be using....

 

oh nooo, your valve cover is bleeding

 

"anyone tried this with automotive paint remover?

that should works, just get some thick *** gloves.

i bought that exact same brand of paint yesterday to fix up this tiny *** scratch on my rim, black rims really suck, because they're prone to rock chips and what not...
