hey, im also looking to paint my valve cover gold again. i imported the motor from asia, and its the one of the few motors with this VERY unique andodized gold finish.
i like the way yours came out, so what kind of prep work and which paint did you use?

looks pretty similar to the color on the rb26 valve covers.

me too! Looks great. Obviously a high heat paint, but what brand?

SequenceGarage

thanks for the compliments guys. That chip is pissing the outa me too but I'm a no-bondo kinda guy so I'm just gonna have to deal with it.. oh well its a memory from the time the valve cover spent in Japan.

Process was:
120grit to remove paint and get rid of the initial grain that is natural to this valve covers paint (similar to B series valve covers I believe)
400 grit to get rid of scuff marks from the 120
800 to smooth it out
6 thin coats (took about 3-4 coats to fully cover) with 10-15min flash time

The paint was the dupli-color engine enamel from crappy, "Universal Gold" is the color
