Hey guys, quick question, i was thinkin of painting my valve cover....and a couple ppl said i have to use "high temp paint" on it, but do i have to use that? or can i go to a paint store n just pick up a can, because theres more selections of colors at an automotive paint store than the high-temp ones.....i dont care if it flakes off, i just dont want any kinda SMOKE from under my hood...

 

i would like to know too

 

Nope. just use auto paint, I painted mine with leftover paint from painting car a year ago, still good Sorry cant post pics

I agree. I painted mine with automotive paint and clearcoat, and it held up for 3 years, before I changed it for a different one.

 

regular paint works better!!! it seems that the high temp **** just fades???

 

i also painted mine without high temp paint... at first, but it kinda faded some, so i went back and got some high temp paint, it looks good.

 

hi-temp wrinkle finish paint

 

You can paint it with ordinary acrylic or lacquer spray paint.
I had this done for 2 years now and still looks OK. Just clean it well before spraying for a good adhesion.

 

^^ whats up with all these carburated cars popping up lately?

 

lol...he's from the phillipines...cars are a little different there...

 

If bisi pulls 10's with sohc carburated, its fine by my.

Bisi uses dual mikunis (I'm pretty sure) and its far from stock, but carbs are prob a lot easier to tune on the fly, especially if thats what you grew up w/.
