How to Turn Your Nasty Valve Covers Into a Work of Art

When it comes to making your car look good, there really is a lot to consider. In fact, there is so much to consider that in most vehicles, some aspect is just left alone. Many times, the part of the car that ends up getting the short end of the stick is the engine bay. That’s right, lots of cars look good on the outside but under the hood, they can be a whole mess.

This is generally for good reason, though. At the end of the day, making your engine bay look good is a lot more work, in many cases, than simply keeping the outside clean. After all, grease and grime buildup is constantly accumulating there. Furthermore, modifying the components means taking parts of your engine apart sometimes. However, with the proper procedure and a little bit of patience, we think that just about anybody could make their engine bay shine.

This time, we take a ride along with the GARAGE IdiotS YouTube channel that shows us one of the first steps to take! When it’s all laid out in front of us, the process of cleaning up and refinishing a valve cover is a lot easier than it looks. Just a couple of simple steps here could really stand to take a basic engine bay and spruce it up.

By following along with the video below, we get the quick and easy tutorial that shows us how exactly it’s all done. When everything is finished, this valve cover goes from a high mileage throwaway item to something that’s going to attract attention for a long time to come. With all of the available materials out there these days, the options are pretty much endless here.

A job that would’ve formerly taken a professional to do can now be done in your very own garage on a budget and the end product can look amazing!
