Touch-up paint for valve covers?

[Promethean]

Is there any available for the RR? If so, where can I get it and how do I apply it?

Any comments, suggestions or tips are appreciated. Thanks.

Been there, done that. A tip over in the garage resulted in a scratch on the right valve cover. A little bit of Bondo applied and sanded followed by DupliColor Silver results in a perfect match. The color was perfect on my front wheel which was scratched by the brake caliper's removal.

The color I used was EDSFM341W also called Silver Frost. Another close match is DSGM 348 Silver (General Motors). You could also probably get by using Artic Silver.

Just remove the valve cover, clean it thoroughly, set it down on newspaper and spray light coats. You can add additional light coats after a few minutes between applications. You will also paint the bolts and their respective washers so you don't need to remove them from the valve cover.

I had a fuel line leak once which stained the engine. I painted the area with the spray paint as well with no one the wiser.

Oh yeah, you can get the paint at any auto parts store or Walmart.

Thanks Alan.

Now I have to go figure out what Bondo is. :)

I'll undertake this mini-project when the weather turns nasty and I can't ride the bike.

Thanks again.

Bondo is a putty like paste that is hardened with a included catalyst. All the illegals coming to "I don't work today because I am an illegal person demanding something day" will have it filling dents on their low-riders. Its pink in color, sandable to a smooth finish, and paintable.
