Default Decided to paint mine

After reading and seeing some of the nice work done to valve covers I decided to paint mine and make the engine area look a little nicer.

Looks good with the Plenium cover too.
Quick question how hard is it to take the valve covers off?

Thinking about painting mine too. HOWARD STERN - My girlfriend likes green

It would take a lot of paint though - Baba Booey

That sounds really HARD. (That's what she said )

Its not hard at all, just need to unplug a bunch of stuff and the covers come of easily just be sure to be nice to the gaskets. The drivers side is harder then the pass side and when putting em back on I covered the covers with a rag as not to scratch em while going back on, have a friend to help its alot easier to have one hold the wires and such out of the way.
