Hey guys,
Im looking to get my valve cover painted. i have a 2018 civic si sedan. Black car with bronze wheels. Was wondering if i could see those painted valve covers? And anyone have suggestions what color would look bad ass.
Thanks guys

That's not even the right valve cover. That's on the Type-R not Si
He was never asking for a valve cover, he was asking originally what color to paint it - so i showed him the J's and named others what people normally do.

Generally I go body colour or wrinkle red. You can never go wrong with wrinkle red. ?

A can of VHT wrinkle red will be the best cost effective option.

wow. Awesome looking valve covers. I have found lots of DIY on how to apply the wrinkle paints but does anyone have a DIY link on how to remove and reinstall the valve cover properly? I am thinking to buy a new gasket and cover so I don’t have any downtime. Cheers.

VHT wrinkle red, ordered it from Amazon since none of our local parts store had it. Its been great so far, no chipping or flaking.
Just a second endorsement to VHT. They make good stuff and will last. Don't have any on the civic, but have used in the past on other cars and would use for this project.

the real testament will be when you bolt it down and the part around the bolt holes doesnt flake off.
