Valve cover paint.

I just noticed the paint on my 05's black valve cover is peeling. Any suggestions as to what paint and method to use? Note: its the red lettering and silver Cummins logo.

krylon fusion paint will stick very nicely to the cover it self. . and just some modeling paint [testors??] for the accents will work nicely too. .

Thanks I was looking at that as well as a chrome paint for the "C" logo. And maybe a body color match for the DODGE portion.

A month after I got my truck back in 2004, some clown backed into my pickup/box, just aft the taillight. While it was in the bodyshop I took the valve cover off and had the shop shoot it body color "mineral grey metallic" it only cost me an extra $40 bucks. If you've got any body work or know any friends in the trade, have them shoot it body color for you, it really compliments the engine bay, people always give me thumbs up for the way it looks.





FYI The painted cover has been under the hood for 1. 5 years & over 37K miles and looks just as good as the paint on the outside of my truck. the brand of paint used to match my truck was SIKKENS i believe.
