Default Almost done stripping




So I got something on my valve cover and the paint half peeled off. So I decided to take it off and strip the paint off and re paint it.

I was going to paint it black to match my car but after thinking about it, I can paint it any color I want.

Any suggestions?
Should I go to black?
or back to red?
or yellow?
or blue?
or white?
or what? I dont know

Make suggestions.

your car is pretty much completely black, right?

I would suggest that if you were already or plan to "trim" the car in a color then to paint the cover that color as well as find hoses and other trim to make the color flow in the engine bay

otherwise keep the black theme going and keep it murderous

I'd like to see black - has anyone done it?

My girlfriend mentioned that, but I have come from having RS Integras, so that feeling of going from a Red to Black valve cover feels like a step down for me.

That's all in my head though, I think it'd look good with black crinkle paint!

HAHA

I was thinking that when I was stripping it. I was like "am I really taking the red off this valve cover and painting it black, that is so backward."

go with gloss as the textured paint looks dull

also get the coil pack cover polished or strip it and have it chromed or something like that as it looks really good...or the ap2 coil cover looks phat too
