Valve Cover
Hey guys i just got my head shaved and i told the guy to throw my valve cover into the beadblaster if he could and he said sure. Im thankfull he did it for free but the job was kinda crappy so i decided to sand and polish it myself. Its close to chrome now!! i polished it 2 a nice shine and now i want to paint it but not just any color. Im looking to paint it black with silver or white flakes but i cant find it anywhere and i dont wanna take it to a shop to get it painted. I saw some JDM S13's, S14's and S15's with shimmering valve covers and i wasnt sure where to get that at. Im aware that it needs to be high heat so i cant just use any paint. Does anyone know where i can get this paint at? Something in a can already will be excellent Thanx
Heres examples of the look i want:

this has nothing to do with paint, but it is related to your valve cover. Is there a bolt pattern I need to follow in taking it off or putting it back in? Oil is leaking from it and I need to replace the gasket. Could you draw out the pattern? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
