All,

As the title says, I am looking to paint the valve cover on a GG Evo and would like to do a custom color (not the candy apple red as OEM).

By searching around for ideas, I liked the purple color as this pic I found on K20a.org on a black Civic....



I am open for ideas! Feel free to post your valve cover pics is you wish.

 

I went with blue for my GG.

 

laguna seca blue

 

ive been thinkin about this also its hard to find a color that will fit just right..

 

i think Bronze would look good.

 

I think poopstain brown would be different

 

+1 on laguna seca blue

 

copper plated lol

 

titanium burnt colored/neo-chrome'ish/mazora color....

 

top secret gold!

 

JAJAJA! I was thinking using the same color as my valve cover on this pic:



Not the same as Laguna Seca, but very similar. Weird thing is that originally I was looking for the Laguna Seca color for the valve cover and I could not find it anywhere in the paint shop. Totally forgot about that color on the M3.

I was inclining a lot for blue, Imola Orange and bronze!

Imola Orange:



Anyone with pics of bronze covers? Or... Colors codes or names?

 

I found these two to be the final colors for blue and orange. Pending bronze! Anyone have some pics in bronze?

BTW... the orange one is a tri-coat and cost an arm and a leg. LOL

Blue:



Orange:

 

What about grey with a metallic paint to match the rest of the car and engine bay?

 

You got me confused here!

You mean to paint the valve cover the same color as the car?

Thanks for responding and suggestion! Just want to clarify!

 

+1 For poopstain brown
