Painting valve covers

[Ron Mexico]

Has anyone tried this? Was thinking about painting them once it warms up.

Did mine a while back went to autozone and picked up a can of ford blue engine paint. Did a few light coats looks great and matches the stripe on my leather seats!

Go get krylon plastic spray paint, i forgot the real name but it has a primer and paint in one and is the easiest shit to paint with. Comes out looking perfect! i plan to repaint mine black instead of blue this time around including the engine shroud

Krylon Fusion is what you're thinking of.

Was thinking about using this as I have to get my used diff fluid out of my garage (it's gonna make advance smell like advanced ass)...

I used ceramic brake caliper paint on my cp covers. Turned out nicely. Any engine enamel will hold up better to under hood temps.

Much cheaper than buying the ones off the BOSS

I did mine with rustoleum industrial saftey blue. After it dried I used scothbrite to get the exact finish of the factory boss ones. Everyone that sees them thinks they are the boss ones. Cost me $5 total and it has held up perfect.

Did this a couple years ago on my 2011. Factory matched paint from automotivetouchup.

Those are coil covers. The 96-98 cobra has painted valve covers. If you paint the actual valve covers on our cars, post pics

resist urge to rice engine bay!

I think the blue coil covers will really tie the engine bay together. My car is ingot silver so the gray covers are pretty bland. Jesus Titty ****ing Christ. It's not like I'm getting Lambo doors.

Done yet? lol

I painted mine coil covers white to match the car... Just have to sand like a bastard if you don't like the texture look and make sure to use plastic adhesion promoter. :beer:
