today i decided to paint my valvecover blue with some accents in white....here are a bunch of pictures of the process....let me know what you all think.
yeh i wanted to take it off but i was a little pressed for time and the paint used was the same on both the cover and pipes which was dupli-color metalcast and just regular white primer... they look like 2 different colors but it was just b/c of the flash
Likes tight man, nice job. I love seeing cheap ways to spice up a truck, especially since I am a cheap S.O.B.

Just added, brand new Pro Comp Series 97 Wheels.
yeh i am too and it was really plain before looks better and was a fun project...the whole thing only costed like $7 to do...i also did my friends on his saturn which was a little easier and came out better and was metallic green.
i am now thinking of either painting my intake manifold the same colors or get a new muffler i dont know which one i want to do first b/c both would be fun projects... and i found a flowmaster with 2 inch lets for $106...i was wondering if anyone put a 40 series on their truck and how it sounds b/c if its good i think i will do that first...any ideas.
you all have inspired me, I need to take my valve cover off soon to check valves, chain, etc and I think I may as well paint it then, I have a couple cans of the "Hammerite" finish paint which would look awesome on the VC. I think its Rustoleum makes it.
yeh if you are going to take it off definatley paint it b/c it is easy and it looks so plain stock and the finished project looks alot better and not to mention being a really fun project
i think thats what im going to order tomorrrow...the 40 series ....i found it at performancepartswholesale.com for 106$ any ideas where i can get it cheaper or is that about right?
looks good man - a suggestion i would have to clean up the engine bay a little more - would be to just grab some black wire loom and clean up those wires going off the battery - just placing them in loom is going to make everything look more factory and more clean
nice job though
