I painted my Valve COver, and it came out great, first take off your valve cover and dont break the valve cover gasket, and then take some paint stripper and remove all the paint and quickly wash it away, then take some high temp engine paint and spray a light coat on it, and then wait 15-20 min to dry a little bit and apply second coat, then if you feel like it do a 3rd coat. If you have any embose emblems like the Honda Emblem, take a File and shave it down, thats it! Then put it back onto your engine, but be sure to lube up the gasket, and if you break it, buy another one, cause that ones shot....

cool, i've painted my cover on my accord, i was refferring to the I-4 cougar. the valve cover is some sort of plastic thing, not metal like mine. i was wondering if there was anything different i had to do.
