f22a6 engine valve cover paint

[alkoholikwun]

i want to paint my engine valve color, i have the arcadia green 2 door ex. what colors would look nice, ive seen a few reddish-orange ones that look sick. i was wondering if matching my valve cover the my arcadia green color would look nice?

any opinions would be great

also what kind of paint is used to withstand the heat?

you can paint the whole outside of the valve cover.

with the valve cover removed and clean first of course

hey what kind of paint did you use, and how many coats did you spray on?

you can use something like this for the valve cover
as for color you can do black or red, if you want to do color matching, I would do small hints of it and not the whole valve cover. My boyfriend has an arcadia accord and from his experience the only arcadia he can find is duplicolor and I'm not certain if it is made for high temp

its from VHT paint. its called Wrinkle Coating i think. but i had red and grey. everyone loved the wrinkle red ones i made. sold a couple of those last year for about $40

my friend got some high heat engine paint from auto zone...it worked great

caliper paint works too

You don't need to use high heat paint on the valve color, you realize that, right? I've had regular paint on mine for 2+ years, and it's perfect.

so what type of clear coat would i use if i wanted a GLOSSY look in stead of the FLAT look?

[Bcozzi71]

i used High Heat paint of my valve cover and my cailpers. Looks good.

Napa sells just about any color paint you could want that will work on your valve cover. IMO I would go with the same color as the outside of your ride, but that is just me
