Hi Everyone
I am wondering which type of paint iI should use on the large side covers. Not the inspection covers but the large engine covers. I don't want shiny, just the factory look. Thabk you

I used Duplicolor engine enamel 1615 on mine. The picture below shows a painted cover on the left and an original cover on the right. the duplicolor appears to be a bit lighter and not as shiny though.

If you want a closer to the original Honda finish, clear coat with duplicolor clear. Keep in mind that the Duplicolor is not very resistant to gasoline. So make sure no gas gets on the paint. Been there, done that.
