Default My DIY H23A Red Valve Cover *pics*











Just finished it yesterday. Basically sanded it down to metal and sprayed it with Engine Enamel What do you guys think?

P.S. yeah I know the rest of the engine bay is super dirty

Yeah I didn't have time to sand it back out yet. Would black look better for the H or polished?

You should paint your wiper blades too... look a little dull. Give them a little black. :thumbup:

i think id pass on the whole painting your own valvecover thing.
but thats just my opinion, although props on the unique factor.
id only use a oem honda valvecover, like the blue SiR or red Type-S h22 cover, im thinkin blue right now
