^^^Deep down inside you know you like it.

I needed to use up some spay paint,lol. The one I took off will look nothing like this one, this one is just one there untill I redo the one I took off.

lol what a great way to waste the paint its creative and very colorful i personally think it symbolizes the different types of emotions youve had with ur car :D lol (put the new one on soon!!)

reminds me of that icecream that tastes like fruits

lol... SPIKETOY?? lmao.. what inspired you to spike up your plate?

just bustin ur balls man, v.c. looks interesting tho, shows ur goofy/creative side and emphasizes that there's more to working under the hood than blood, sweat and tears...

Well I go by Spike all the time, and my car is my toy.

You should use the same colors on the rest of your car to, not many people can pull color patterns like that.

my valve cover
 

the red valve covers are annoying, that black mark was from a hose that used to go to a catch can, cant get it off. i found a place that sells red wrinkle paint though.

very nice guys!

car_bum, how did you get the letters on them?

Love it lol!

letters on the valvecover
 

the letters stick up, so all you do is sand the paint off. I use a micro grinder, with a 2" 50 grit disk. this makes it look just like the machining done originally. I'm sure you could use a Dremel tool or just a file to do the same thing. If anyone wants to know where to get black or red wrinkle paint. I got it from this place called tool time on Hopkins street in Whitby. Its just past the AMC complex off Thickson Rd.

That valve cover is for sale now.

how do you take the valve cover off to paint it?

is that a sarcastic question?

hah rainboww

thats gay lol skittles

thas a sick vc!

Here is mine (got dirty after awhile lol)
Also, the heat shield has been painted :)

I really want to clean up this engine bay, piece by piece. I've done a pretty good job keeping it clean. :)

Will that whale dick fit in a DA.

if you get one for a DA it will lol.

gotta relocate your battery and proportioning valve

they don't make them for a DA.

im gona say no beacause i dont even know what you mean by B1 lol
sorry im in the learning process

bufferzone, I think I may do mine red too! its black right now... I got a black car what do ppl think? I was thinking red, blue, yellow, or black (doing calipers same colour)

who cares what ppl think, do it how you want it.

anyone know of places that paint your valve covers, i wanna paint mine glossy black with red letters.

bring it over. Ill sand it down, primer it, paint it gloss black. then Ill use touchup paint. it comes in a bottle like nail polish, so you can brush it on the letters. I got a steady hand.

Ive done it for 7 people already

ya you do a good job? i know people you aircraft striper or something like that to get all the old paint off.

You have any pics on how some of your jobs turned out?

I dont have pics. but if u wana get of done professionally, it will run you 250$ i think. I can use stripper. but it takes too long. and somtimes it will leave chunks of paint that buildup.

how did u create this!!???!!!

ya well i want it too look pro. lol no offense i want it looking like show condition.

ill do ur lip 1st. then ill post pics of when i do my valve cover. then u can come over another time if u like what i do with my cover

I just used color flipping paint.

it looks lik it has two different colors... am i wrong?

The paint flips 3 different colors

Picked up a spare cover last week, gonna strip it tomorrow or Tuesday. Should turn up nice. Ill have pics up when its done.
Imo polished letters are the way to go.
Should have this done by the end of the week.

And Anthony, stripper works amazing. I've used it on several covers its so much quicker than sanding. Unless you just paint over the old paint, you'll spend hours sanding the cover since the paint it heat treated and doesn't come off easy.
With stripper, brush that stuff off, all the paint bubbles off in 10minutes. That gives you some time to have a beer and a smoke and you whipe it all off. Never had any problems.
Try it next time, will save you a headache...

Ill try that out next week. ill post pics when its done. Im painting it gold with polished letters

I'm probably gonna strip it Tuesday so ill snap some pics.

----, i cant do my valve cover. the bolt on the left side. under the dizzy...is stripped :(

Does it just spin and not come up? Grab vice grips and pull up as you turn.

already tried that

what kinda stripper are you guys saying to use, and where should I pick this up? i'm gonna get my valve cover painted so need to get it stripped!

canadian tire. go to the paint section and ask them

I bought mine at carQuest. I think the paint stripper should be located at the paint department not auto paints.

yea its in the home paint area.
