valve cover!
So does anyone know where I can get a painted valve cover
for a 1.8L 323 astina? I don't really want to paint it myself as I want it to look decent... and glossy! :P thanks |

if you are more specific with the engine cover you are chasing. i'm sure there would be forum members with a spare that they might do up for you for a free.

FP VC.
Question is does he/she need one with the holes for top mounted coils or front mounted.

I have one in wrinkle black, otherwise you could just take one to get powder coated in the finish of your choice.

If you want it a certain way and won't be happy with your rattle can job.
Go to a wreaker find one. Then send it to either HPC coatings or HI Octane performance coatings. They will do the clean up and coat it. Cost will vary but about $200. I've used both- for both VC- manifolds - turbo housing etc. The more fancy you get the more it costs - wrinkle coat - fancy colours etc. but understand all of them are not tough. Only 1 type is tough and that's the ceramic. No it looks chrome but average but it works and you spill crap on it. Mate done the wrinkle JUN lookalike Sr20 head. it held up well until some dill with ratchet chipped it. Valve cover and engine bay dress up is kind of personal so you might not find one you like. |
