color/colour..
Im trying to decided which to pick for my B18B1 valve cover..
Im going turbo and I want my bay to look a bit cleaner, right now its like a bonzey but IM not really feelin it..

I was thinking green or something, btw my teg is milano with a fresh coat not to long ago..

Any ideas?

 

mine is blue...

 

can't go wrong with black

 

you can never go wrong with gunmetal

 

gunmetal, or black. I dont like the way red looks on an LS valve cover. Just my opinion

 

I was thinking of something along the lines of an AMRY type green, like the plastic garbage can type colour.. think it might look cool and go well with the red..

 

ewww. that sounds disgusting.

 

Get it powder coated. It will last a lot longer and the colors look so much nicer.
It's far more heat resistant also. It generally costs about $80.00

 

Polish it? Might look good for your taste..

 

i dont think u want to go green.. its going to look like christmas everytime you open your hood..
what about like burgundy or dark grey/gunmetal.. i'd avoid the bright red unless u really have a c5..

get it Kawasaki Green. It actually looks good if you have a red car. Hibs friend Sean has one. It looks good.

 

yeah I would have to say gunmetal, stock black, silver paint, or just bare metal with the coating stripped off.

 

cant go wrong with neon pink!

Haha funny you say that, my name is Sean too.

You got pics?

 

Green and Red dont go together at all. Polish is cool. Chroming. Powder coating. etc.....Powder coat it bright silver! Mmmmmmmm

 

Camo.

 

I say polish it or paint it graphite or gunmetal. I'll post a pic of a gunmetal valve cover in a min. I'm not sure if it's a b18b though.

 

Some of the Prelude valve covers are actually a very pale purplish-blue...I definitely like that. Check out http://www.jdmhondaparts.com and look at what I mean.

 

This is Tony the Tiger's car. The 2L beast.

 

well I like the VTEC valve covers, but my car is no-vtec haha..

Here's the one I did last night with my friends turbo b16 ef..

 

Red valve cover on green car = Christmas colors

 

Tony The TIger's valve cover is HOT.... lol End of story

suggestion... i did mine blue with the 1500 degree duplicolor (only b/c the shade of blue i liked was only in stock in that temp range) but i didn't clear it. BIG MISTAKE. i prepped it, high temp primer... etc.. 8 coats of blue... baked in the over between coats... wet sanded, etc.... it sucked the first spilled drop of oil RIGHT up... if only i would have cleared it....

 

what color is tony's valve cover?? looks like concrete

 

mugen gray is a awsome color and will go with the red

if you get your valve cover sand blasted it will look exactly like that.
