Hi guys, I have a few scratch on my valve cover and I need the red nissan oem paint code. Please, don't tell me it's red.... I know it is.

Thanks!

Lol yeah I know. Last night I was soo pissed about what the straps did to my valve cover due to the transport. The valve cover was so mintttttt!!!!

I posted on nicoclub too, i've searched everywhere!!! I can't believe this information is so hard to get on google.

Most people that choose to paint their valve covers, use a color better than stock. So it may be rather difficult to locate the paint code.

If nothing else, I'd say find a picture of the cleanest stock VC you can, and have it color matched.

Good luck, and be patient.

You need it painted back to stock since the chips affect the idling and are the cause of the overheating problems.

oem red vc = 15 rwhp

daytona blue vc = 17 rwhp

picking your own designs = priceless
