Before anything was done.^


Primed (6coats)


Painted(6coats)


Sanded


All done. Clear coated(4coats) went a little heavy on the last coat and you can tell above the spark plug holes a weeee bit
but im happy with it, this was my first time doing this so i cant be too upset with the job

- Tue Nov 02, 2010 11:05 pm #221229 It depends if you mess it up. but your better off replacing it

- Tue Nov 09, 2010 11:41 am #222257 powder coating is another option which works well, lots of colours availiable and you can sand down on the honda emblem to make it shine effortlessly

- Mon Dec 13, 2010 6:28 am #227600 Hey I was thinking about doing this soon and was wondering I have a Vtec-E and was thinking about painting the vtec and the e different colors than the rest of the valve cover. just wondering if I should buy a big rattle can of the colors I want or is there a paint that I can use that is in a smaller container

Valve cover came out nice Do you think regular rustoleum paint will hold up to the temp on the valve cover?

yes if its prepped pretty good before paint
