Homemade Type-R Valve Cover (56k oki-doke)
Started with a stripped/silver b16 valve cover (Previous owner had painted it light blue). I then shot a couple of coats of VHT Wrinkle Red and let it dry overnight. Came out pretty good considering I put no effort into it.
I got the paint for $7.99 a can at summitracing.com (part# VHT-SP204 - good luck trying to find it on the street). The more you mask/detail, and the better you paint, the more it looks like a real Type-R Valve cover.

It looks pretty good. Me, I sent mine to Jung for powdercoating (black of course). I took the sanding disk and started hitting the letters. It came out really shiny, but i hit this spot like 1/4 that took the coat off where it shouldn't have. My black spray paint should touch it up pretty good, but that's my story.
Good job.
Good job.

The only difference is the B16 says "HONDA MOTOR CO" and the Type-R cover just says "HONDA" same with CTR covers. Who cares anyway, we aren't judges at shows...
Great job Used2beRacer!!!
