Is the valve cover on the max aluminum or plastic ? it seems like aluminum to me. can it be powder coated ?

 

the valve cover is aluminum i think, it can be polished...
are you talking about the plastic ornament cover covering the valve cover.

 

im tlaking about the part that says 3.0 litre v6 on it

 

plastic

 

**** , what paint should i use to paint it ? is there any specific brand, and where do i get it ? im also looking for caliper paint.

 

This company sends you a new valve color in a vartiey of colors, inlcuding polished.

Then after you install the new one you send them your old one.

I hope this helps you!!!

 

I just painted mine

 

William, your engine bay look tight!!! What kind of blue paint did you use for the plastic valve cover and the windshield washer lids?

 

just regular $1.00 dollar store paint clean real good and just paint light coats(I put 6-8)...on.....

thank you for the props......

 

I just painted mine Metalic Grey. I masked off the "Nissan" lettering and the black part. It came out perfect. I used quick dry engine paint.

 

William, did you have to sand the windshield washer fluid lid as well as the others before you painted them? Did you paint your oil filler cap blue too? Did you spray any clear coat on top of the paint? Thanks

 

No I did not sand ANY of the parts...I just cleaned them real good with Dawn dish detergent and let them air dry...them painted them and yes my oil filler cap is painted also.....no clear coat at all either......I have had all of these parts painted for over a year no probs either....

 

paint it up... rustolium, metallic paint made mine look good >>
