How to Paint a Valve Cover
alright.. i just got a spare valve cover off ebay and its getting sandblasted this afternoon.. not really sure on what color i should do.. no, i dont want wrinkle red... i was thinking of a gold color.. or an olive green or something.. .. what do you think?? i'll be doing the letters and the spark plug cover black
here is a pic of it now..  i will post pics of the progress ok, here it is after being sandblasted  got the spark plug holes taped up so no paint hits them and i got the letters sprayed black  all the essential equipment necessary to complete the task.. yes, including the Corona  got the letters taped off... i got lazy so i only did the DOHC VTEC.. the Honda Motor Co. would have taken forever  put on my coat of low gloss black  got her all sprayed up.. waiting for it to dry  sun does wonders when drying paint  and here is the finished product   *UPDATE* 4/9/07 got the letters back to black, not sure if its staying though..  and here is one of it with the spark plug cover painted black also..  __________________
