    Painted my valve cover.. pics!

    Custom mixed with leftover red and orange pearl paint. Absolutely stunning in person!







    Lets hope it will last with all the heat in the engine bay

    Holy shit man! That looks sweet!!! Nice work!! Absolutely stunning! Those old valve covers are so sexy with all their nice smooth curves. The A series ones are so square and high tech looking. Love for the old school.

    I think it would look even better if you polished the "Honda"

    Re: Painted my valve cover.. pics!

    Thanks guys! Here it is installed:







    I still need to repaint my chopped air cleaner and timing belt cover.

    And I think I'm gonna leave the "Honda" as is. The raised letters are too rounded and won't look good if sanded, plus the valve cover is made of steel and it will rust, unless I put another layer of clear on it.

    And oh its leaking a bit. I need to put that whatever that called stuff you put on the gasket lol

    That colour is simply amazing. I think maybe a black wrinkle finish for the air filter?
