Picked up a spare valve cover so i figured why the hell not lol.


It was pretty new and the base paint was still mint so i cleaned, cleaned and then cleaned it some more. Scuffed it up with a wire brush pad and sprayed away :thumbsup: got a small drip on the front but it will be covered up by the engine cover so its all good :thumbsup:

BTW - i used that high temp engine paint you can get at crappy tire :thumbsup:

on with the pics :bigpimp:

Yeah if you used clear coat it'd have to be heat resistant like the paint or it will turn yellow or brown. that = teh barf.

once again, nice work 88CRX

what did you do to keep the honda motor co. sign silver! did you spray it and then use paint thinner to get the paint off the letters?
