Thanks. I used chemical stripper, and a wire brush to strip the old stuff off and get it back down to bare aluminum. I cleaned it with wax and grease remover, then did 3 coats of VHT wrinkle black and baked at 350 degrees. Turned out rather well imo.

Paint newb here. Can anyone help me and share how they prep'd their valve cover?
Also, what you used to remove the paint off the Nissan letters. Like this...

My intake manifold powdercoated.

My valve covers are at a local tattoo shop. They are currently flat white and getting a treatment of japanese style tattoos all over them before they get cleared. the timing covers and coil pack covers are going to be a metallic purple.

jerry_beans · 01-17-2013, 04:16 AM

I have a good idea for my valve cover that I haven't seen yet! Stay tuned!

Teigen · 01-17-2013, 11:11 AM

really liked that Wooden style VC!

Here is mine, I did a black wrinkle but I think about doing a gold wrinkle color

new2sr20 · 01-17-2013, 09:52 PM

One_love_silvia · 02-12-2013, 11:47 PM

Mine. Coilpack cover isn't done yet. Looks incredible in the sunlight, lots of really fine metal flake. Also, as you can see in the pics, changes color from purple to a pinkish color depending what light it's under.
