looking good...i would've taped off the the cam sensor, pcv hole, and oil cap though... paint is probably something that shouldn't be in those places...

Won't hurt a thing.

I would have powdercoated it myself....but your work looks good.

looks nice.. what kind of sand paper did you use and how long does the whole process take? I want to paint my valve cover but I don't know what kind of sand paper to get or how much sanding its needed.

 

[protegedude25]

i used a dremel for the edges with a sanding disc and then i used 60 80 120 350 400 2000 sand paper and wet sand primer and then high temp paint and auto clear took 2 days but looks great not done yet

bought my valve cover from rogue, took it to work, bead blasted it, self etch primed it, sealed it, base coat and 2 coats of clear. then i polished the lettering on it to a mirror finish! all in all i have about 35 (valve cover cost)dollars and 2 hours put into it. lol good work though!
