To customize the valve cover, you require these items :
i) Flat black can spray - Dove or other brand that has good wide and fast noozle output
ii) Autosol - for cleaning purpose
iii) sand paper
iv) hair dryer - for fast drying

Here are the step to DIY it..


Aftermarket valve cover. (Chop Shop condition)


Washed, sand paper and detailed it with autosol (metal cleaner)


How to get the rought surface effect of the plastic cover…?

1) just spray 1 or 2 layer of base color (depends on the thickness u want it) to cover the plastic head…

2) the final layer, spray it ranging about 22inch from the object…the further way up u spray the more rough effect you’ll get…make sure u just keep on pressing the spray noozle, swing it left n right evenly…

P/S : The flat black effect look similar like Honda Type-R RedTop colour…but never tried on red colour before…only flat black colour…maybe u guys can try it…
