So I decide to dress up the engine bay a little and figured painting the valve cover is the best way to go about it...

For those who are interested, I used red 500º engine enamel.

What paint did you use?

I did a quicky job before a car show and used some left over caliper paint. I'm going to pull it off again and do it right this time.

Or you can just use the guide on this forum, look it up in how-tos.

Start with 320grit, work your way up to 1500grit and use mothers mag/aluminum polish and it'll shine, how I did my supercharger.

looks good

good job man! looks good victory red ftw!

Paint completely cured and it's looking sexy

Did you need to buy new gaskets or did the stockers go off/on just fine?
