painted valve covers????
 
I need to find a place that can sort of match my paint and paint my valve cover and some other engine and brake components.
These all generate a lot of heat where they are and I am not able to find anyone to do this for me. The color I know wont match beacause it is kandy so I am just looking for a nice deep orange and if anyone also knows if this is possible "true" ceramic coating

Let me know if someone does
Thanx J

true ceramic coating is going to cost you an arm and a leg. Start calling body shops or places that rebuild motors to ask if they can spray a high temp paint on your engine parts. The valve cover really shouldn't be a problem as it doesn't get as hot as a lot of the other parts under your hood.

I can get anything in the engine true ceramic coated for 60 outside and 60 inside but it looks like chrome and I am trying to get it to some what match the paint
thanks anyway

A paint shop can match the color and put it in an aerosol can or spray it for you for a price. Might want to look into that.

Yeah just use some High temp paint. Im going o paint my valve cover as soon as I get it back. In my pics you can see my engine block is kind of painted:) its held up forever.

I painted mine a few years ago with a paint that i had made to match my car. Its totally held up so I say go to hte paint shop and get an aeresol can made with your paint and paint away!!!!

Just take your time!!

I have practically everything under the hood painted with $3 high heat engine enamel from wal-mart. It works great and they have a bunch of colors...mine is neon green, black, and chrome...

I am new to all of this making your car look nice thing, my accord was stock untill about a few weekes ago and no i am plaing with it... but you can paint parts under the hood if you use tthe right paint? that is awesome

Nothing sweeter than a normal looking car with an engine bursting with colors and modificatios. It's scary when a Honda with the only visible modification is the muffler appears to have 300hp+. Can only imagine those things have tricked out shit under the hood like you guys;)
