Hey peeps I've been looking for a forum on how to paint my valve cover, but I haven't been able to find it. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it, also if you got "PICS" that would be great.

Thanx,

how would pictures help? theres directions that tell you how to take it off, prep it and paint it.. you can't really miss the bolts to remove the valve cover.. once its off, you prep it, paint it, let it dry, reinstall..

So I finished the valve cover and spark plug cover this weekend and it came out awesome it would look better if I would have washed my engine first "lol" but I used the exact paint recommended by redz and followed the exact directions execpt I had a twelver of Budlight "sorry" I also found out that for the hyundai emblems on the spark plug cover will come off if you just put some GOO GONE and apply it around the edges of the emblems they come off without a problem. Also at one point the paint looked oily and I thought it was because I prob didn't clean the valve cover as well as I should have, so I wet sanded the cover and put another coat of paint on and if came out bad ass.
