I was bored last weekend and decided to paint my engine cover.
i think it came out pretty good. I just have to touch up the top part of the I-vtec sticker. Ill just use a very fine brush and some black paint. or hit it with a black sharpie.

 

I like, looks sharp!

 

looks good...

 

Nice, something I've been wanting to do, but my laziness has been getting the best of me..

 

nice, replica of my engine covet but i went the extra mile and painted the oil stick top black and all the reservoir caps

 

looks like mine I did last year, but i filled in the grooves across the top in w/ a deep red.

 

Or you could've just got element's valve cover for $30.

 

Or 7G Accord coupe, but yeah.

Nice initiative. Here's a shot of mine from when I did my manifold cover and sparkplug cover. 6 months later, still looks great.

Edit: I also painted my dipstick black. Looks JDM, but is actually functional in our engine!

 

what kind of pint did you use?

 

I painted mine blue. Sanded it first, then painted with a gray primer. Then used blue Xmetals paint by Krylon.

 

i didnt sand, just hit it up with a corse pad.
Then hit with high temp gloss black 3 coats

 

looks awesome!

 

good job, I painted mine this past summer red along with my comptech ice box.
