You don't need to primed it but I primed mine with 4 coats

Do you read threads before posting?

I let it cure for a few days and then today sanded off the VTEC lettering.

I painted the spark plug cover with duplicolor graphite wheel paint. I am going to paint my wheels, strut bar, and intake the same color.

Sold the prelude a few months ago and havent really been on this site.

To answer some questions I have been getting via pm.

I did not powdercoat this. I used VHT high temp wrinkle paint.

I had no problems baking it in the oven...except for the smell it left in the house for a few days...lol.

I did not prime...simply stripped the valve cover to bare metal and used the high temp paint.

I did not clear coat the valve cover.

I've used the same product and it doesn't came up like you'res.

Here's mine, the only thing I have to do is polishing the letter.

i found a brand new one one in the honda box from japan for only $100 bucks right after i got my car... so i went that route... but it looks pretty close to mine.

i may paint my original one the electric blue color to have color options = P
