i cant freakin make up my mind. im in the process of sanding down my valve cover and dont know what color to paint it. i need some pics to help me out. its a b16 cover. thnx guys

 

um, what color is your car?

 

its going to be white. white ef hatch.

 

anybody?

 

what color is the interior. also, you said that the car will be white... was it painted from another color? if so, what color is the inside of the engine bay. i'd say match it to one of those. worst case, go with the majority... r-e-d.

 

You didnt have to sand it. You should have searched, I think 50% of H-T owns Aircraft Remover. Itll eat the old paint off, then just rinse.

 

good idea with the red. well i sanded it cuz it had a bunch of imperfections, not to take off the coating. no interior. its completely gutted. i want to do the paint job right and not half *** it. but how much will that cost?

 

Get some High Temperature engine paint. I've used Plastikote (sucks) and VHT. VHT is better but a more limited selection. You'll need high temp primer too. Tape off the breather tube, oil cap and spark plug holes, and just spray randomly. How many coats is up to you but you dont want any drips. You can also get wrinkle paint that needs to be heated to get a cool wrinkle effect (like oem). Shouldnt cost more than $10-15
