I wasn;t sure of where to put these so sorry if it needs to be moved...

this is my Valve cover that I painted. I worked on it over a period of 3 days...sanding priming and sanding some more to make sure it was nice and smooth.

Enjoy the pics and feel free to share your opinions....

01-02-2002, 01:13 AM

hmmm.. not sure if this belongs here.... but what the hey...
both the covers look great... keep up the great job!!!

01-05-2002, 02:52 PM

Demonic and Whtehnda...looks nice!

About how much time did you guys spend on the under the hood mods?

I haven't read too many of your posts, but have you guys done other modifications too? (Exterior, Interior, Performance...etc)
If so, what would you say was the best mod you've done?

*Whtehnda93DXSdn* · 01-06-2002, 09:47 AM

Well when I did my valve cover my clutch had gone out and it was sitting for 2 weeks until I got the $ for the ACT clutch I put in.

I took the valve cover out and hand sanded it and painted on it for a 3 day period. I would prime it then sand, prime and sand then yellow and sand and repeated til it was nice and smooth and the end result that you see in the pics. If I would've had a dremmel or something of that nature it probably would've been a little easier but good ole elbow grease never hurts.

Well I have quite a few mods to my car and all I've pretty much done myself w/ the exception of doin the clutch. I couldn;t really tell you what he best one was but the Valve cover came out better than I thought for a first time try and not sure what to do...

01-07-2002, 01:01 PM

Looks good man, Now you just need to either polish that heat shield or get a header. Your VC looks almost powder coated, what kind of paint did you use?

*Whtehnda93DXSdn* · 01-08-2002, 07:52 PM

Thansk RxR...I actually redid the heatashield to match but I never put it back on. I'm actually in the process of getting a set of headers for my ride so I'll have the pic of that to show here in teh next 3weeks.

As for the paint that I used I did a base coats of yellow were the Yellow heat resistant paint and then I went over that w/ Yellow Krylon. About 3-4 coates or so. The main thing was I sanded it after each coat tehn hit it again.

Hope this helps....

01-16-2002, 11:05 AM

very nice somthing u did ur self always make u feel better because u did it ur self its nce but bright j/k

01-18-2002, 02:21 PM

I was told that if you take the valve cover then you have to replace some kind of seal or something, is that true? Is it basically just the bolts in the corners holding it on?

2000Pimpinex · 01-18-2002, 02:36 PM

I think it looks really good. Great job.

01-18-2002, 05:18 PM

I like it.....good job

01-18-2002, 06:05 PM

Looks great I just had my friend paint my valve cover because I had oil in the asparkplug tube so I had to replace the valve cover gasget so why not paint it at the same time. I'll post pics as soon as I take some!

02-09-2002, 04:28 AM

Bloody ripper of a car.
Look unreal keep it up!

Racing Rice · 02-10-2002, 01:23 PM

Nice job on the valve cover.. From the pics it looks powdercoated..

02-13-2002, 10:21 AM

Nice ride, hey you interested in that black widow rear clip?

02-13-2002, 04:24 PM

Thats a sweet ass engine! So fresh and so clean.

03-01-2002, 03:43 PM

Pretty nice d00d! I'd like to paint mine also, probably blue color since the rest of my car's color/motif is blue...........so does one neet to replace any kind of gasket when removing the valve cover? From what I've seen/heard you just take it off and when your done put it back on but i'm not too swift on the mechanic side of cars so my guess is as good or worse as any!

Kyle · 03-07-2002, 03:54 PM

Damn man...thats tight...I'd love to paint mine red...i'm goin for a white/red look wit my car...how exactly did you do that?

Thanks
