I used high-temp caliper paint for my valvecover. I just got equipment for powdercoating so keep that in mind. I'll post about offering to do other people's parts after I hone my skills on mine. I'd like to be up and running within the month.
You can get paint designed for the engine. I think 500 is fine but paint is cheap, so get the next level hotter.
Degrease before you sand so you don't waste your sandpaper sanding grease. I'd get a wire wheel for a drill and use that to clean it after the degreaser, before sandpaper.
Thanks for the tips. Think I might try to paint mine this weekend. I really like the look of the polished lettering, would like to do that too, just don't want to copy. Maybe I'll paint my lettering yellow or something. Great job though.
Shoot man dont worry about copying that. I copied it from someone, and they copied it from someone before them. I think a yellow valve cover with black letters on a yellow car would be super hot.
Alright, cool. I've seen the yellow ones and I don't like them as well. I'm going for mostly black under the hood except for yellow strut bar and yellow vac. lines. Think that will look pretty clean, oh and I need to get an altima yellow top too haha.Thanks again
