Here is my candy red powder coated valve cover. Done by Sumax (they did most, if not all, of Orange County Choppers powder coating)

Thanks, should look better after a few more coats, wetsanding, and clear. And after I paint the insides too, haha you can see silver behind the spokes.

They are Eagle Alloy 196s, exact knock off of Konig Verdicts.
 
:pMore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say one was going to paint t a valve cover how would one chose what color?
also where is the how to post?
 
:toobad:I looked through this thread like 50 times and all i see is one 420a valve cover.
I want to see more 420a valve covers.
I know there is more 420a's then just one so post them up please.
It looks like i am going to have to paint my vc so i can at least see two vc in this post.
 
haha, I posted my two - the green and the shaved gold. and I think there were two or three others earlier in the thread.

I'm not sure if the guy with the white turbo'd 420A talon with gold wheels posted his in here, but he's got a flat silver colored VC and it's shaved as well. Only other shaved 420A VC I've seen besides mine - his inspired me to shave mine since it looks so clean.
 
Thought I would bring this back...

I just finished one that I am pretty happy with. 500* engine primer with ultra flat-black. I left the inside un-painted.

I should have definitely went with black. I tried red not thinkin how it would match, and. . . not even close. My valve covers look orange compared to my car. :notgood:

all of them are so clean, i wish mine looked like that. i picked up another one but i want to shave the the letters off. what is the best way to shave the letters?
 
I am unsure how many of you care about your engine bay... but i enjoy experimenting with airbrush art on valve covers.. I am about to post a ton of pictures of a few i have done, i do not have photos of all of them.

I would like to dedicate this thread for you to show yours off as well.

verry few from a long time ago to some more recent with my talent getting better, painting and airbrushing, valve covers for peeps.
