I done something similar recently to my 1hd-ft
I purchased a new valve cover from Toyota & had that ceramic coated blue.
Fitted up
I also purchased new heat shields & had them ceramic coated polised alloy.
fitted up
Dump pipe is also ceramic coated polised alloy.
Turbo housing's are also polished alloy (but not fitted yet)
Next is to purchase new exhuast manifolds & have them ceramic coated black.

This all is far too pretty! Now I want to do it too!
I did mine on my new engine when I put it in last year. I painted it with satin engine paint then polished the raised letters and numbers. I'll have to take a better pic.
Sweet!
damn, I have to do my VC gasket and spark plug seals some time in the next year, and half of my friends are gearheads with giant GM iron from the 60's painted all pretty. I'm gonna have to do something like this . . . .
It wasn't all put back together at this point....
heres mine 6 yrs ago...
Looks great! What did you do for prep work?
You did a great job! I recently replaced the valve cover gasket + spark plug seals in effort to stop the leaking that was happening at the rear of the valve cover. Figured while it was off I would paint the cover and add some unnecessary bling to the Toyota emblem, haha.
Just like you, I used wrinkle black for the cover and added a new 1FZ badge. This was the first mechanical project I've taken on (other then oil changes) and I found it to be a fun process.
