I also painted my valvecover.
Before, all scuffed and old looking:

After, the color is Cast Coat Iron:

It looks soooo much cleaner than before. I love the color too. Better than Scott's baby blue at least, lol.

Oh BTW, VTEC lobes are cool looking

I don't know, they're Raymond's wheels for his IS300. Probably pretty light for 18's considering they are Ray's Engineering and they forge all their wheels.
 
umm. light.

the Volk 255/35ZR18 weighs about 5lbs less than the Stock 215/45R17
the Volk 225/40ZR18 weighs about 10lbs less than the Stock 215/45R17
 
Ok one, pimp ass rims y0


two...how did you paint your valve cover (paint cost, paint type, how did you clean the valve cover first and what with, and how many coats, etc)

three...vtec cam lobes are cool looking.
 
BLINGITY BLING BLING. Who says big rims have to slow you down that much?

:thumbsup: on the valve cover.
 
the size of the rim will matter more then the actual weight.... besides they arent even for his car he said its for his friends car.

I used the high heat engine block paint from Shuck's, it was like six bucks for a can. I sanded all the scuffs and dirt and shit off with 80 grit sandpaper, using light strokes. Then, I used a sponge and some dish soap to clean it up and get all the grunge off. After that, I used an air compressor to blow off all the leftover oil and chipping paint and shit. I sprayed it with the initial coat, let it sit for 15, sprayed it again, waited about a half hour, sprayed it again, let is sit for another 30 minutes, and then put a final coat on it and let it dry for about three hours. Voila, new color.
 
Shut up, homo. It has symmetry. Grey HONDA and grey DOHC VTEC, silver H. Fuck off. :p
 
Besides, yours would look better if you would have scratched off all that faggot-ass baby queer blue. And if it said DOHC VTEC. Bitch. :fuckyou2:

thats the same color i did my intake, and will be doing my valve cover too. my valve cover is just stripped right now. to strip the paint i used some uber paint stripper from home depot, shit is like gel that you paint on, let it sit for a few minitues then hose it off helping it along with a wire brush.

i was gonna do a darker blue, but one of my buddys talked me into that one. its wayy better than it was acutally, with 1/3 of the black chipped off, that looked like shit.

im probablly gonna re-do it a darker blue to try and match my intake, before i sell it.
