    And here's a valve cover picture thread http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...ht=valve+cover

      I about to adjust my valves and I have an extra valve cover so I am going to clean mine up and paint it before I do it. Nice info. Where can I get the VTH paint to get the crinkle finish? I wonder if you can get in in any colors?

        sorry to high jack the thread a bit, but i was just rereading the valve cover thread and i was wondering how the "Rogue Status" gun show cover was done that Janderson posted up on page 7.
        was it done with a vinyl sheet or was it painted/stenciled on some how?

          you don't need and kinda of high temp paint. regular old paint works fine on a valve cover. quit beeing tools about ever thing and just try some shit out. its not like you engineering a roller coaster.

                trent for the lulz

                OP, go to your nearest paint store and ask for something that can withstand heat, say it's for a valve cover and they'll show you what they have. Good luck and post pics when you are done!!!
