Hey Anthony pick up some extra stripper for me and I'll bring it when I cone for the swap. Where would it best getting the paint I got a place that does custom paint they can match any colour I'll ask them if they got something for valve covers. If bot any good places too look? It's gotta be a heat resistant one correct. Cuz the one I used on that b18b1 there I used Caliper paint. Did a bad job in it. Did bot sand it very well.
|
i already got stripper. used it on my deck. Bring ur valve cover over. we`ll get it nice and fancy
|
black and red looks good together i think so.
|
I was thinking of polishing my valve cover.... what do you guys thinks??
What are the actual procedures involved? I heard it is a PITA to do.... Thanks in advance!!!! |

You should still clear coat it. because the polish paste will come off over time, and it will start to rust.
