Colored Valve covers - HondaClub.com

Anyone know where I can get colored valve covers(besides JDM red) for a '07 TSX?

Yep...go to advance auto parts and buy some engine paint in the color you want...along with some brake cleaner and some masking tape and a new valve cover gasket

remove the valve cover
wash the valve cover
spray brake cleaner on valve cover and scrub to remove all residue
rewash valve cover to remove brake cleaner
let air dry...do not towel dry...preferably where you are going to paint so it can acclimate itself
tape of gasket surface and any grommet holes
paint cover...multiple thin coats work best...
allow to dry per can directions
install cover with new gasket

done...should take about a day to do it all...

I would be too if there was somewhere around here to do it...but she is my daily and I cant afford the downtime waiting on shipping (the hoe gotta earn her keep!)
