Re: Painted valve covers - badda bing

Well 500 bucks for aluminum covers, when you can paint the stock pieces like this, seems like a waste of money.


We'll see if the intake was a waste of $ here in a week or so.

Looking close at it, the blue ran off the edges of the ribs, showing the silver underneith. Made it lighter....
Naughty paint.

Thanks guys!


I do like that finish much better.
I like the silver a lot too.

And I was at Pep boys yesterday, and there's like 16 different High Temp colors of Duplicolor Paint.
Y'all are SET!
