So I ended up repainting my original valve cover Iron Cast. As the one currently on my vehicle some guy wanted it. lol Anyways I did a premo job this time around, even let the damn thing cure for 4 days without touching it. Anyways as I was putting on the valve cover ground, I guess I accidently knicked it with the wrench :( Any suggestions on how to go about repairing this small little issue, the most easiest way. haha I don't feel like taking the cover off, remasking, and giving it another 1-2 coats in 5 days.

carboard with a small hole it it, then spray the hole area lightly. might work! :-(

hmm how bad is it... and it must not hold up to good if you knicked it with a wrench. I would try the old hole in the cardboard, but i honestly dont think it will turn out like you want it to

The paint holds up. Its surprising. It must have just been an area that I didn't apply a heavy first coat too. :( I was even thinking of just slapping my "Stupid Hurts" Honda Bandaid Decal over it. lol

Ok another idea just came to mind. Powder Coat. However can the single cam valve covers be powder coated? :?:

^ I don't see why not. But if you powdercoat the whole cover be sure to take the baffle off, otherwise the glass beads and what not get trapped in and that = bad news for your engine.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't your valve cover powder coated like a bright neon orange? And thanks for the tip. :) Also how do you go about removing the spark plug seals? And can they be reused?

Yea, mines powdercoated. and yes, usually they can be. But if one is torn or cracking, I would get new ones. THere not too expensive. Taking the baffle off is a task though, so is tacking it back on. Maybe use some sealant over the new tacs when you put it back on
