Pink High Temp Paint?

[boostedjess]

Ha alright, this whole valve cover issue has been answered many times before, but I'm wondering about the paint color itself.

So I know this may sound stupid to most of you, but I've been wanting to paint my valve cover.. pink. And I know they don't make pink high temp paint, that I'm aware of at least. But I do know they can powdercoat it pink, but that's a little too much money when I can do it myself for cheaper.

Does anyone know of any kind of pink(ish) paint? Or any other kind of paint that is heat resistant to 500 degrees that I could use? I'm just curious.. Thanks!

this is where I bought my engine enamel and they do have "HOT PINK" it's about 3/4 off the way down the page.

 

[boostedjess]

thank you so much!

 

[Taylor3180]

No problem, glad I could help. Though Pink on a DSM is a rather bold statement should look intresting

Damn, now I'm curious what a hot pink 1G or 2G would look like, overall.. or a gloss black with pink detail/accent stripes.

 

[Taylor3180]

Pink is apparently the new black

I just used an engine enamel primer on my valve cover.. and then normal paint, it's been fine for years..

 

[boostedjess]

Haha.. Well I'm a girl and how often do you expect to see a pink valve cover?
But thanks again, I never thought I'd find it.

There is a hot pink 2g that runs around where I live. Its one of the most hideous cars I have ever seen

 

[Talesin]

Still curious about what it'd look like. And it can't be TOO hideous, unless it's got some ridiculous, fugly-ass bodykit or vinyls.

I guess it would be interesting to see, but then again.. I'm not the one to show off my car so I couldn't do it.
But I have a picture of what a Pink 2g Eclipse would look like, I get bored and photoshop a lot...(the original color was silver)

I've seen a pink valve cover before, I believe there's a picture of it somewhere on this site... One of the vendors was running the pink VC (I think) can't remember who though.

 

[boostedjess]

Hmm.. now I'm curious to see what it looks like.

Pink would be different, I'd be curious to see how it turns out.

Good effort, though.

 

[boostedjess]

[Talesin]

I have personally painted and polished a Hot Bubble Gum pink valve cover... I can honestly say that I didn't like pink, but after this, I kinda fell in love with it. I will try and attach my pics, if not I will email them to you... Now, the paint wasn't considered a HIGH temp paint, but I tested it myself, heated it, freezed it, and blazed it, and it stood up to the tests. I used an adhesion promoter first, then a high temp primer, then the color coat, then the high temp high gloss clear coat. Of course I prepped it and cleaned it, did all the necessary steps, and it came out beautifully. This was almost over a year ago, and through 4 different seasons, multiple spills, it still shines like this today. It was on my buddies wifes GST. I am still learning alot though, and they enjoyed it.

Why dont you paint it pink and black. It might look good
