Painted my valve covers

[asher4857]

So, since my CA project has begun again, I figured I would post up my painted valve covers. My friend was originally going to powder coat them for me but we couldn't find any red powder coat in the area. Since he works at the Nissan dealership he just took them and used red caliper paint. They turned out great.



When we find a nice powder coat I want to use, Ill probably redo them.

Nice. So many of us have switched to non OEM colors, it's nice to see a clean set of original stlye ones.

So my friend brought over my timing covers as well today and after we installed my new water pump and got my timing belt lined back up, we layed the valve covers down to see how it would all look... its ****ing gorgeous...



well hopefully be painting a few more things on the engine later on... ill keep you guys updated.

im thinkin about going purple. As gay as it sounds...you would have to see the rest of my car to understand...I want it with some serious texture or a little bit of flake though

The caliper paint turned out nice, in the pictures it looks almost like powder coat.

As soon as I find a shell I will begin building an FC RX7, we have already decided the paint scheme will be Neon pink and black.

If done right, pink and purple can look badass.

Ian, you don't have to hide your reading choice from us. We accept you for who you are!

That aside, valve coves look nice.
