decided to paint my valve cover again, since i had it off and it was pretty dirty. i really wanted to paint it a metalic gold, but it seems like no one sell that color in a high temp paint. anyway, here is how it turned out.

I am also going to respray my valve cover, the paint I have is not really for high temp. applictions, and is is all bubbly now lol, but I am thinking of polishin it. What do you think? polishing it will take a lot of time and effort to get right and it might not last too long. if you can, you should have it powder coated. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
