BADPRELUDES!!!!
How did you get your valve cover red, powder coat? I heard that there's some way to bake on the powder in the oven or somethin like that, but i don't know.
Badprelude, damn that is a nice-ass valve cover, how did u do it??? Bryan your ride is tight, especially the pic with the lude in the garage reflecting.
We used paint remover on the old valve cover to get all the black **** off... took about 15 mins.. then we painted it.. about 3 coats and then baked it at 250degrees for 30 mins. then walla its red.
I have Smaller Tires on my car now.. Instead of 205/60/15, i put some 205/50/15 kumho ecsta supra 712's on there.. nice tires, having a small side wall is a lot better for cornering so far

It is just High Temp Red Paint. Looks good.

Why did you have to bake it? some kinda special paint? what brand did you use?
I'm waiting for the owner of a 91 4WS today to come down to negotiations. The car is in PURE immaculate condition (no problems, clean engine, only CD player mechanism isn't working but who cares about that), driven by a mature adult (nerdy/geeky looking guy) and has about 99,900K miles. The owner said his minimum offer was $4,500 and my dad offered him $4,300. If he doesn't accept that, we'll raise the bar to $4,400. Man 7 months without driving is a pain, but this 4WS will make it up for sure!
We just baked it cause it would dry faster and keep it away from dust or lol preludeguy89 dogs peeing on it. Its dupli color engine enamel Red Chrysler paint can.
Preludechick, nice mini-lude. I've got an rs4 2 with the same lude body. I painted mine red though. Didnt come out that great cuz it was my first attempt at painting a body.
About my real car, my springs, shocks, intake and exhaust or being ordered so as soon as that ****'s installed I'll post pics. Peace
thanks for the replys, fellas. I'm thinkin on tryin it, my cover has already be stripped and the guy tried to plish it out a bit, but it doesn't look too good.
