That protege valve cover is sick. I plan to do the same one day.

 

-Duplicolor Wrinkle Finish
-Used cans directions to apply
-Applied in 2 light coats and 2 heavy coated, then fast dried in oven at lowest temp for an hour.

Has been doing well now for about a year, though it got a bit scratched up while I have been taking it off and putting it back on probably 10 times in the last month or two.

 

I like that. It looks great, especially for a Duplicolor rattlecan job.

 

eastwood black epoxy powder coat.

 

put some wrankle on that ****, arkmage.

 

what are the actuall valve covers that will fit the 1.6L engine???

 

how easy is it to just cut or grind the stock one to espose the can gears?????

 

Lol, it's for my Escort GT

 

I sold that ****** for wagz to xracer today, lol.

 

I'm running this custom one-off valve cover. Has some custom oil stains carefully placed to appear natural. Also garnished with some old wiring, vac hose, and a MBC to help it blend in to its surroundings. Even has a bit of RTV around its perimeter to finish the look.

 

AHahah.. ^ looks great. Now put some more oil stains on all that shiney silver that looks way to clean to make it blend in even more.. Aahahah. J/k

 

I'm with Pat, painted mine unobtanium silver, it'll never chip! It does however eventually fade to an oily-stain color.

 

came blue. dunno how it t'was painted. lol

 

OMG!!!! That is almost the excact same color im doing mines.

 

VHT wrinkle paint.

 

I love the black wrinkle (did it myself a while ago). Looks clean, but totally OEM.

 

Black wrinkle is very tough to beat for a clean OEM look. I prefer it over a glossy paint job.

 

I agree.
Mine is black wrinkle coat with red lettering, but I don't have any pictures on this machine. I will try to post one later.

 

Here's a shitty pic of mine:
Took lots of tape
High temp ceramic paint from autozone, about 5-10 minutes between coats

 

Why?
