on the valve cover? u have to get some high temp paint, most of the time people just sand it down and paint the whole thing or get it powder coated. There is no touch up paint for the valve cover.

crap. i have looked for high temp paint of the same color but i just cant find it. i guess ill just sand it down and repaint it or get it powdercoated like you said. powder coating keeps the cover cooler if im not mistaken, right?




i just found this picture by the way, lol.

i donno about keeping the valve cover cool. it's basically paint so i don't think it will keep it cool. but u should try to match the car color, that would look sick.

hmm.. i have an idea of how i would want it to look. i was thinking about once i got my car to or over 400 WHP and i upgrade the trancfer case to start deckin it out to look like a evo viii version of the JUN exo x =]







See how that engine looks? i think mine would look pretty sick like that.

Car looks really aggressive with the blacked out headlights and carbon hood, with a nice contrast with the yellow. Welcome to the family
