Default help with valve covers

I am about to paint my valve cover to make it look like a type-r's. I searched everywhere for VHT red wrinkle paint. or any kind of red wrinkle paint. I live in washington, and i was wondering if anyone knows a place near by to go buy some red wrinkle paint. i would order online, but i hate to wait and it cost for shipping. or is it possible to use black wrinkle paint then paint it red? ANY tips on where to pick some red wrinkle or crinkle paint? thanks

yes, but i dont know the exact number and step for teg

if you dont have the manual, just loose the bolt little by litte and one by one, do opposite side.

dont for get to torque and oil the bolt before you put it back on, they are very very weak
