PAINTING VALVE COVER
PAINTING VALVE COVER
I want to know what would be the best way to clean up the valve cover than paint it with that high heat red paint thanks.

Re: PAINTING VALVE COVER
you'll like the results a lot better if you have it powdercoated. to really clean it up, you should sandblast it, but most powdercoating places can do this.

Re: PAINTING VALVE COVER
looks nice, but it might be a problem trying to fit a v6 valve cover onto a 4cyl engine.

Re: PAINTING VALVE COVER
Haha Good call Ashley... missed that one
Re: PAINTING VALVE COVER
If you're not interested in paying a wack of money for powder coating or plating for that matter, I used a coarse steel wire brush, then sanded with 5 different grits from 60 to 1000. I then used 5 coates of that high heat clear coat from crappy tire.
Sorry, I have no pics to show as I've lost my digicam.
