Painted my Valve Covers

How much does a spare set run?

I found a set on eBay paid $30, then sold mine for $30 when I installed the painted ones.

Five days drying time?

I prepped, painted, and cleared my wheels in an afternoon. Then mounted them the next day.

The wheels turned out as good as any of the powdercoated Bullitts I have seen. Allow proper flash and drying time between coats and before handleing.

There is no reason why that can't be accomplished in a weekend. The results will still look the same as long as you don't rush the flash times of the paint being used.

Well I couldn't do mine in a weekend because I was painting the ribs. That required being able to mask them and I would do that on day old paint.

I ended up painting mine the same as your pretty much when I did my pi swap...

hey that looks pretty good, but jeff has a better gloss to his...i like where his head is at, basically the more time you take the more it shows.

That is more or less what I am planning when I pull my heads.

Except I want to do more of an old school black wrinkle finish and silver ribs.
