Shaving plastic engine cover anyone?
Im planning on shaving the lettering off the cover and also filling in the "v6 3000 24v etc.." with body filler. Im wondering if anyone here has already done this? any pics? Im also deciding if I should repaint it red or paint it silver to match my future VI cover. im going to be using the same paint thats used to paint cars so do you think it will hold up to the heat? any input?

Re: How about a real Carbon iber valve cover?

Well I was trying to not say anything until I had the final version finished, but I am working on them. They are completely smooth, and are real carbon fiber. I already have them in fiberglass and they look great. I will post when I have the final product. I will offer them in CF and fiberglass versions for those who want to paint them.
Please post if your interested because it's been very costly developing these, and I would like to know if this is something other people want.

as far as the paint, try this stuff at autozone. i think the brand is duplicolor. they just got it at my local store. i used it to paint my brake parts and a few other things, it comes out really good, and it can withstand a lot of heat (500 degress F i believe). like someone else said though, i dunno if the body filler stuff would hold up to that kind of heat
