Panting Valve Covers

[slysnake]

I want to paint my valve covers to match my Copperhead. Can anyone suggest a paint?

My first thought was to powder coat them, but after searching several threads here seems that is a tricky job.

Pay to have them done right. Powder coat. A good one can match the color to your car.

With the subject line for this thread I was kinda hoping for something else.

Check with Mike at XVipers. I think he already has a set done for the Copperhead.

We did ours with high-temp automotive paint (will double check with our painters for brand) and then shot it with clear coat to keep the "VIPER" from fading - holding up great so far!

I got mine power coated and clear coated this spring to match the blower. No more scrubbing the Viper emblem. It was only $20 bucks per cover. Pretty reasonable I thought considering they blasted all the red paint off as well.

Thanks for the replies.

The xvipers option is tempting but if they are running $500 to $600 I think just sending the ones I have out to be done might be more affordable. Negative side of that is then the car is out for the time it takes.

Doesn't the base have to be high temp? I'm having trouble locating a high temp copperhead paint.

I used straight up automotive base coat and clear on mine(Glazerith).It`s been a few months so far...so good.
