Default Help! Need a shop to repaint valve cover OEM wrinkle red.

Hi guys, I'm refreshing my cylinder head this year and would also like to repaint my valve cover as well. I can't find a shop that will respray valve cover wrinkle red. Spoke to a few shops I know and they can only paint but can't do oem wrinkle red. If anyone knows a shop please let me know, or if you know how to paint oem wrinkle red im open to that also. I'll pay anyone to paint my valve cover.

second option: If I cant find a shop to respray oem wrinkle red valve cover, I'll consider upgrading to brand new AP2 (04-05) valve cover from Honda.


Thanks for reading. Cheers.

There's a thread on here about a spray paint that's out that comes really close to OEM wrinkle. You have to bake the paint in the oven to get the wrinkle like OEM but even without it looked good.

To be honest, i dont have the skills and tools at home to do this job, so I rather pay someone.

Thank you for the input iDomN8U.

Thanks for sharing the video!

only thing I worried about is sand getting in. Stripping Technologies valve cover work looks really good, top notch.
