Re: painting valve cover

Caliper paint will work, check into an adhesion promoter also if it is aluminum. Sometimes paint don't want to stick to it for some reason. It is cheep enough and comes in a raddle can. Just be sure to scuff it real good with a Scotch Bright Red pad and make sure you use a good wax and grease remover. needs to be very clean otherwise you will have lift city.
