How are you guys coloring your valve covers? Power coating?
yes. some of them paint them also. but powder coating is the most durable way of doing it. somebody ( i dont think from here) used to sell powder coated valve covers for a very good price on ebay. you could get them for the 2.2, 2200, LD9 and the Ecotec and you could get it almost any color you wanted i believe
theres a few on ebay right now.. just search "cavalier valvle cover" most are the 2.2 ohv but they'r there

i've heard some bad reviews on those covers. there's a thread in the ecotec forum about it. can't find it as the forum is currently down.
i've got mine powdercoated. cost about $60.

can you just take them off and put them back on?? There is oil in there right? so i would make a big mess while takign it off? I've never done that before and think it would be nice to know if i decide to do it. also do i need to buy new seals? I have an ecotec

Just regular hi-temp engine paint?
On my 95 neon i just pulled my vc off, cleaned it up & sprayed it with some krylon "fusion" spray paint. Thats been working fine for about 3-4 months so far. Your valve cover shouldn't get THAT hot... should it? The reason I used fusion is cause I was also doing my intake manifold, and they're plastic on neons.
Just my 2¢
my 2.4 idi cover gets really hot
I'm back from the dead.
