				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.

				 | 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.

				 | 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  |
