I'd probably opt for a newer style valve cover for my next one, but this one worked for a first one.

While that valve cover looks fucking awesome, something just occurred to me. You DID use high-temp resistant paint, right?

No, But there is a clear over the silver. The stripes was an after thought. I'll find out how long it will last when i start driving the car here soon. I should of used a hi-temp primer then painted and cleared it. I did the samething with the cover on my 85 eta, sand blast, paint then clear. It stayed on the last 3-4 months that i had it on the road and it held up. But the wrinkle paint i had on it lasted a month or so before it started to peel. I think i did bad prep job then, cause the wrinkle paint held up on my 2.2 Turbo Dodge valve cover and intake with no peeling.

Here's the colors that i used for the ///
Krylon
2108 Banner Red
1913 Purple
1517 Peekaboo Blue

I'm pretty sure that the paint will hold up, but if not i'll just sand blast it again. Cause i got another idea for it to match the black/red color combo of my car.

Same damn thing i was getting ready to ask. "they make those colors in heat resistant paint?"

I was thinking the same thing.

The selection of high temp paint is, errrr...shitty

i got this one on my car now. I sand blasted it then painted it with RustOleum met. silver, and the stripes are sprayed with Krylon. I used a DA to sand the ribs and BMW. Sorry for the huge pictures but i uploaded them awhile back and didn't feel like resizeing them and uploading again.
