Powder Coated Valve Cover.

I want to get my valve cover painted, but I'd need one to cover it temporarily while I send this one out. Where can I get one, does anyone have one for sale?

how is it less work, you have to spend more money. And you will never be able to sale your used one for how much you buy a new one for.

When I was replacing my IC piping and Spark plugs I took my valve cover off and painted it myself w/hi-temp paint and I think it came out great. i'll try to post and pic for you but if you take yours off, wet sand it with fine grit sand paper, Spray it a couple coats and then clear coat it if you want you can do it in a day.

Painting your valve cover? But but the red screams "JDM TITE YO!"

Which company's high temp paint did you guys go with?
