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? --------------------  |

What do you think? polishing takes lots of time and effort, but looks incredible when done right. clearcoating it with hi temp clear will really extend the life of the parts shine, and make it easier to keep it clean. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
