Love what you've done to the engine cover - been wondering what to do with mine because in normal crap it looks crap. Did you just use normal paint? I thought about doing something similar but was worried about the heat!
Used normal car paint and a good plastic cleaner and plastic primer.
No prob's so far

Can the valve covers be removed as easily as the engine cover? I'm hoping to paint my covers this weekend, but couldn't tell how to remove the valve covers. I know the engine cover is just on with 4 torque screws.

Tried searching to no avail.

Can someone/anyone that has painted there engine/valve covers help me out?

Thanks, Mike
