i've been wantin to do this to my ej8 for a while. can't wait to see how yours turns out.

 

[MugenShox]

just to paint it black??? why not a cool color like red or blue or some vibrant color?

 

[Rayden]

Are you Going to follow the DIY?? Post pictures Because I want to do the same thing. I will Paint mine Red though

 

[Mythh]

Funny, I am painting mine also this week, doing desert camo, looking for 1 more color of paint before I start.

 

[Trey99EK]

I always planned on painting mine the wrinkle black, but I am too lazy.

 

[Phantom Civic]

Paint it with some wrinkle black and rub the paint off the HONDA with some sand paper and a knife.

 

[Trey99EK]

Or lube the letters up with vasoline.

 

[LowNotSlow]

make sure you block off all the holes. Cleaning paint out of threads is a b***h.

 

[chadi]

are you jus using regular high temp engine paint?
you should look for some textured paint...would look way better...

 

[weksos]

You can buy the wrinkled paint at any hardware/paint store

take off the 3 bolts and your heat shield should come off no problem, theres no o2 sensor to worry about, its on the bottom of the car where your header joins into 1 pipe right before the cat.

 

[hondatunerz2002]

oh cool , ill try it see if it comes out. thanks man- but yea hey i gots some newer pics of my Valve cover still have to add a-nother coat of paint but here it is so far to cover the letter's i didnt have vasoline but i just masked them off . but anyways its coming out nicely check it out tell me watsup ill keep u guys updated for sure. ---later

just pust some vaceline sp? on the letters so it wont stick on the HONDA badge.

there is too an o2 sensor there...there are two of them...one on the manifold and one by the cat

 

[Suanico]

not bad man, post pics of the finished product and on your engine too, i just bought a 95 SI valve cover for $20, it comes in a black color with the word "VTEC" instead of "honda" they are way sick

my bad, its the 99-00 manifold that doesnt have it. or at least thats my guess since i dont have one there. i dont see the point in having 2 oxygen sensors like a foot away from each other, and both before the cat...
