I got my swap Finally... and the place painted my valve cover for me. I was drooling over the spoon valve cover they had in the lobby, and so I requested a yellow valve cover to try and imitate it. FAILED Plus when I went home, the dremel nicked parts near the letters so I f@#$%$# it up. Besides the yellow didn't turn out anything like phoenix yellow.


This weekend I'm stripping it, and would like some ideas/pics for ideas on what colors to paint it. I already have Crinkle black to make it stock, but that just seems boring. Any suggestions are appreciated...

 

I am a fan of polished valve covers. But that's just me.

NO!!!! That is seriously what I plan on doing. No joke.

 

really who cares?
-You want a show look, get it dipped in chrome or get it polished.
-You want more of the jdm look, get a actaull jdm red cover or try to get yours done in the wrinkle red.
-You want a spoon wannabe, paint it yellow
-You want to save money and dont care, keep it black
-Be diffrent and colour match it to your car

Get what you think will look best! I had a polished one with shaved emblems and Im sick of the bling engine bay. Going full jdm so to each, his own. Good luck!

 

make it plenty ugly...paint it white

Took me about 3 hours and I had to do alot of light sanding and a hell of alot of polishing. if you dont know what your doing, call around to shops that polish stuff and ask them how much!
