- In this video, we DIY restore a Honda Dseries valve cover, on the cheap. It was painted red originally, so we use paint stripper to remove the old paint, clean up the surface, file off all the rough cast marks, and repay the cover using white and clear coat from rattle cans (spray cans)
This valve cover is from a Honda Civic EK Hatch D15 / D16 Single Cam.
This is a satisfying time-laps-style video as we include a lot of sped-up footage. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Good job man!
I’m itching just to see you work with paint stripper without gloves 🤣🤣 great job man. Lovely vid 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yolo 🤣 I do think the product deteriorates with time, was way less effective this time. So that helps
THE RESULT IS AMAZING
WELL DONE MAESTRO !!!
Hi Bro, Thanks! came out good, next time I would go over the rough cast marks a bit more as the gloss white does make them show a lot more than normal.
Very satisfying to watch,, beautiful results..great job

Great job sir
Thanks!
More fire Diy contents bro!!!!!!
Thank for the support Hendrie!!
Honestly the valve cover looks okay inside. It was not to slugged up and has some exposed metal. Good video btw.
Hi, yes it was not to bad, also cleaned up perfectly inside fairly easy.
The white/blue combo looks great. You even took the extra time to sand off the Honda letters to look proper, a step many seem to skip.
👍Well done.
Hi, yeah, the clean letters make a big difference, Thanks 👍
Nice job I want to paint mine I’m thankful the owner before me didn’t care to paint it
Hi bro, thanks. Yeah not having paint on it is going to save you alot of time and effort. Just prep it nicely. 🙂
That white looks awesome! Where did you find blue hardware from Skunk2? I can’t find them anywhere.
Hi, I found it on AliExpress a long time ago, I have not seen it recently, however you can still get blue PW-JDM (passwordJDM) sets on eBay and Ali. they similar, just thicker.
@@RisingBoostYTAh, gotcha. Ok cool; thanks for your help!
very nice..
do you have a video on how to install that blue color valve cover bolt?thank you so mch
Hi Virgina, not yet. I plan to make a video covering all the aftermarket parts I used as a review and "how to".
However they are fairly easy to fit, front 3 bolt straight into the OEM location. Rear 2 have a threaded bar and tube, so the bar goes into the head and the tube bolts over it and then the bolts go into the tube.
@@RisingBoostYT thank you so mch for your information..more power and godblss
Clean brotha! Where did you get the new bolts from? Link?
Hi Jimmy, tried to post a link but looks like YT removes the comment if it has a link. I got them on AliExpress, however you can buy them on eBay also. they may only have the PW JDM ones recently. got the Skunk2 ones long ago.
Did you use a primer? How is the cover holding up? Nice work.
Hi, I did not use a primer, the surface on these covers are very rough making it easy for the paint to stick, it's holding up great, however it does chip if abused, I had to use a screw driver to remove my cam cover and there is a few small chips on the edges now from that, but under normal circumstances it should hold up just fine for a few years
It looks like you left the Honda sign bare metal, or did you laquer over?
Hi DJ DAZ, in my case yes, I did leave it bare metal. where I am from we never get snows or salted roads, so the aluminum cover won't be prone to corrosion in my case. however it will be better to clear over the letters after.
Where can i buy these bolts. Its look nice. Thanks. Mine is D series.
Hi Chatchai, here is a link to a similar product on Amazon - amzn.to/3oEDnTE
Now wonder how tht paint gonna hold up to the heat
Hi Precision Skate, the paint I used is heat resistant or "engine block paint" as the can say. but yes I will give an update on how it holds up with the heat and oil.
I am sure this car got 1000hp boost due to this
Yes, painting the valve cover and adding 9 stickers to the back window, guaranteed 1000hp 👌
I wanna do something like this too. But when i am older and have a rb26 engine
What paint did you use to paint the inside of the valve cover?
Hi Bryan, I just cleaned the inside very well using "Brake & Parts cleaner" letting it soak. I won't recommend getting paint on the inside as it may come off and go into your oil
@@RisingBoostYTi just reviewed the video footage and you're absolutely right, the angle you had it at made it look way darker on the inside of the valve cover. Yeah im fully aware your not supposed to paint the inside lol but again it looked like it thats why i asked i was really stunned for a minute
What is the number of sandpaper did u use?
Hi Aldrich, I used 360 to start, 600 next and then a red 3M scuff pad. To get the honda letters sanded clean, I used 80 grit.
Is that a steel brush or a normal brush
Hi, I used a plastic bristle brush, but I guess the small steel brush won't damage it as the surface is already fairly rough.
@@RisingBoostYT I’ll stick with the plastic britle brush Sir. Thank you for the video. I learned alot
I don't understand what was the point in doing double the work when you could have taped off the Honda part when you initially sanded it, instead of using primer then painting then sand again...
Could've also just used a air compressor and dremel w/ 3m rulock wheels instead of using that chemical peel you used which only stained the aluminum and left it with that dark tint
Yes taping it off is an option, but does take some skill to get perfect, I did the sanding to get a uniform silver colour over the letters, gets rid of the corrosion. I would however say that clear coating should be done after sanding off the letters, not like I did it. I had the paint stripper so decided to use it.
En español latino brother please 🙏
Hi Negan, I will try to add subtitles manually soon so translation will be available to you.
put the paint stripper into a bowl don't do what this guy did.
Hi WI, In my case the paint stripper evaporates rapidly, once it leaves the container it must be used immediately or it becomes thick, it may work with the newer more strictly regulated paint stripper though.
