cpayne Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Anyone know where to get some new looking covers. Mine are scuffed from a drop. Are there covers available? Link to comment
Rotor Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I suggest just cleaning them up and painting or powder coating them. Much less expensive and if done correctly I doubt anyone would ever know the difference. Link to comment

Selden Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Anyone know where to get some new looking covers. Mine are scuffed from a drop. Are there covers available? Not at a price you want to pay.... A month in from repainting, my valve covers are holding up nicely. Not quite A/B because of different lighting conditions, but I did put together a before/after picture: Link to comment
SteveHebert Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 DuPont import paint 88-00910 Artic Silver. Chris Kenney turned me on to it 10 years ago. Tape off where the fins are and start wet sanding the heads. When they are smooth, use a gray primer for several coats and then sand again. Apply several coats of the Artic Siler paint, then apply several coats of a satin clear coat. It takes a weekend due to drying time between coats and about $10. Results are awesome. Luggage can be painted with Krylon Fusion. Again, results awesome. Link to comment
ElevenFifty Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Or smooth them out and use black engine paint ... look good and easy to touch up Link to comment
Chuck U Farley Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I suggest just cleaning them up and painting or powder coating them. Much less expensive and if done correctly I doubt anyone would ever know the difference. I painted my valve covers with Satin Black high heat engine enamel and the engine guards/spark-plug covers Titan Silver. I think it turned out well. Link to comment
