Here is mine. The cylinder head shop soaked my valve cover so I painted mine Hammered Bronze Black and brushed up the letters. I also did my 1g intake manifold same color and timing belt cover. I will post pictures of the intake tomorrow when I finish it. The other pieces wont be on til the engine is put back together.

I have another one i am about finished with for a cb7 owner with a h22 vtec swap,, it's pretty sweet and yet imple, pictures will be up by this weekend,, I am back and plan to really get back to doing these.

 

[KeelesKustome]

well needless to say the first 2 photos are just almost the same yet look out how much the marble changes... I'ts nearly impossible for me to get good photos of this,, in person is the only way to see it in all honesty,, taking photos of it really did suck.

OH MAN!! That is AMAZING!! ... minus the V-TEC...

 

[KeelesKustome]

i know i know,, i one was a vtec fanatic as well, untill i bought my gsx my life changed from then on.

But i do respect the higher reving vtec motors, they aren't underdogs in my book.

I just seem to have more honda owners who want their valve covers painted then anyone else,, and I'll give it to honda they did make the covers verry nce, especially the H22 covers

Where did you buy your paint from?

 

[KeelesKustome]

I paint cars for a living. I Car Certified with a Gold standard.
PPG Certified, Spies Hecker Certified, and Nexa, autocolor certified. I use nexa on the covers as it withstands the heat verry well, just as good as powdercoating and they have excellent etch primers.

 

[EDM95]

Well thanks man I paint cars for fun on my free time too.

 

[TurboTerror99]

This is mine, I had it polished while my car was down for a Cylinder head rebuild...

That thing is too sweet! I might borrow that idea... Where do you take one to get it polished?

My ex picked up a mint condition 94 GS... I asked her if she wanted one. So here it is, I just finished it. BTW its sitting on my motor for looksy... I'm powdercoating mine candy red. But I kinda like that marble idea...

It looks soo much better in person tho. Myspace screwed it up. Its really bright and on my black head, it looks amazing. I wanna paint her head black too just so it will look this good.

 

[jen_cairo]

This is my valve cover its candy red done by hipsipowdercoating. Its one of kind.

pics don't do justice.

Or you could just do it yourself instead of wasting your money. I polished every single piece on my motor. I would never pay someone to do it.

you know neon valve covers are already shaved right? Just food for thought. I am gonna do something with my spare 420A Valve cover also. Dunno what color, but maybe Pink and sell it to a girl. Since thats one of the only colors I have, besides bright red/orange (same color as the lip on my wheels)

 

[IhearrtDSM]

^ didn't know that, but I got it done cheap. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
