F22A Valve cover!

[TheLudeGuy]

So after having changed out my old valve cover for the new black one that i painted i was left over with old one. So decided to clean it and restore it.



Except i decided to go with the RED wrinkle paint this time.







It has a few trouble areas due to the fact that a little bit of wind was going on while i was painting but to looks good until you start looking for them.
Im not going to install it to my car since i like the OEM black even more but im sure i will find a buyer since i have posted on the other forums that i have an account with.

Nice Work. Very detail with the paint job

Nice and clean! What paint did u use to strip it?

[Jarrett]

He probably didn't use paint to strip it. He more than likely used stripper.

[blucb7]

I really like how this looks. Did you use just a regular paint stripper?

I no rite^ that's what I get for typing fast.. I. Wanted to say paint stripper. Thanks Jarret for making a LOl at me today

I used "Super Clean" to degrease it.
And "Rust Oleum Aircraft Remover" to remove the old paint.
I highly recommend both.
Just use a good set of disposable gloves since aircraft remover burns like a mother F***er if even the slightest milligram touches your skin.

^ it sure does. Not 2 mention if u inhale that shit. Bad stuff.

How did u mask off the the Lettering? looks very meticulous but awesome job.

[F20A CB7]

When I did something similiar.. I. Painted it everything, sanded the letters. But used a razor blade first to scrape off the paint.

That came out real nice. I tried that same paint on one of my old VC's and it came out looking like frosted red anus.

Yours looks like it got powdercoated. WTF did I do wrong on mine?

[Quashish]

i have plans for a spare valve cover i picked up. gunna get it powder coated, a friends brother hopefully will hook me up, either going to have my friend sand blast it in one of his elective classes or the shop might do it for me there. im not sure i need to call

What i do is i get about a 1inch blue painters tape then i lay it over the lettering then i get precision knife and start removing the tape little by little. If anything stays i just sand it off but im careful since i do this before i bake the valve cover.
