Popoff, your car is slow, no one cares about it except your boyfriend Mark! Seriously though, when is it going to be running, at this rate the grocery mobile will have you beat!

does anybody know of a good do it yourself site for painting your valve cover? i would like to try it this summer, but as always hesitant that i will mess something up, i have to replace my valve cover gasket so i fig why not do it then.

i would have it bead blasted and powder coated....regular paint really isnt strong enough.....powder coat it so if you smack it with a wrench it wont chip
its not too expensiveDCsGST

I sandblasted mine then used 500° ceramic engine enamel from duplacolor. It's been close to a month now and it looks the same as the day I painted it.

Toronto,
This is something I used to do a lot of with a friend of mine. I stopped doing it though because for all the effort it takes to shave a valve cove properly, the return is just not worth it. I have one white valve cover left if anyone is interested, PM me for details. Here is some more.

Not that custom but its mine so i like it. Plus the powedrcoating
really shines when not taking picture w/ a 10 dollar digital camera.
The shoestring looking things are silver plug wire covers to cover my
$17 yellow accel wires.<br>

Step 1: print the above pic
Step 2: take to your local powdercoating place
Step 3: tell em you want yours exactly like that
Step 4: buy the plug cover and oil cap from a vendor
Step 5: install and say "hey my valve cover looks friggin tight yo"
