Here's what I did to my valve cover.

1 Can of High Temperature Black Paint + 1 Can of High Temperature Red Paint + 1 Hour of dipping a nail in red paint = Custom Valve Cover :shock: :shock: It's a pain to do, but it looks good to me!

The 1200 degree stuff is not the right paint. He used the flameproff 1600+ paint. The 1200 stuff will burn up as soon as you start you're car up. I put that stuff on my headers the first time I tried to paint them and it melted away in a matter of seconds. That was a waste of 2 hours of work. The 1600 or 1800 degree stuff will work fine.
