Valve Covers are Painted

WAM · Apr 12, 2015

It was more work than I planned but they are painted and installed.

I have a green car and didn't like the red valve covers. I thought about painting them body color but decided to do them in silver and I am happy with the look.

Here are the pictures.

Outstanding, nice to see you that you didn't follow the same theme as others have done and made it your own

Best painted valve covers I have seen.

Thanks everyone.

I knew someone would mention the bits of yellow and red. I did notice but some things are better left alone.

Sometimes less is more. Looks very original and classy

That looks super, I wasted my money on billet ally valve covers, that i
eventually dumped, that is the look I wanted.
Did you powder coat, or base and lacquer?

great

sssammm,

I used a spray can. It's Dupli-color Engine enamel DE 1650 Aluminum. I scrubbed down the covers with a Scotch Brite pad and a little Lacquer thinner and then wiped it down with some Naphtha.

Silver paint is very easy to spray, I guess it is the pigment that is used. You have to be careful painting depressions because it will run easily.

It is not a high gloss it is more of a satin finish which I like.

I have used this paint on my other car and it looks great.
