well here are the pics of my DIY job on the valve cover. I went for the full JDM look by painting the spark plug cover and I also painted the dipstick black. The colors I used are VHT wrinkle plus Red for the valve cover, duplicolor platnium for the spark plug cover, and duplicolor GRN. Grey for the dipstick. It turned out really well and was easy to do. Just time consuming (mostly the preperation). I forgot to take some pics of the calipers but I will take care of that today. I used the duplicolor silver caliper painting kit that is like $15 dollars at walmart or Meijer. It is a brush on paint with ceramic in the paint. It turned out really nice and I did not take the calipers off the car to do it. I left the back ones on and I just flipped up the front ones to allow easier access. The colors that duplicolor has are silver, yellow, red and black so go check it out. Its worth the $15!
