Default Lemme see your Valve covers!!!

My Fiancees valve cover is driving me nutz!! All the origonal powdercoating or paint or whateverit is is flaking off and basically it just looks like ass. So I'm going to sand blast it next weekend and I'm looking for ideas on what to do with it. So post away, lemme see your valve covers!

Love the finish, what kind of paint did you use?

Thanks.

I don't know what kind of paint was used because I bought it already painted with the DOHC VTEC and Honda emblems shaved and the timing cover cuts. I decided to powdercoat because the paint chips whenever it gets hit with a wrench.

I am sure that any high temp engine paint will be fine. Cover the lettering with chapstick and then peel off when done painting.
