Thinking about painting my valve cover, and had a couple of questions.

1. Do I have to unbolt/take anything else off to get the valve cover off?
2. What should I use? Engine enamel?
3. Any tips/ideas on doing this? (and don't say get it powdercoated, I'm too cheap )

Thanks

 

I started doing this, but could not get the PCV line off so I abandoned the project. Basically, you have to tape over the PCV line and paint around it.

 

get it p....... LOL Do what I did. (refer to my pics.LOL) jk I did the unspeakable

 

Haha yeah, I saw your thread from when you got it painted. Looks good too. I would powdercoat, but I'd rather not spend the money on it right now. I also wanted to try a two-tone approach which I think would be even harder/more expensive to do with powdercoating.

 

so is there a way to get this thing completely off, im getting my rims powder coated soon and id like to throw that in there with them.

 

there should be, dealer removed mine today to change out the gasket. didnt take them to long.
