Painted valve cover. Think it came out pretty good. Here's some pics...

 

I have to agree! Looks great

 

thx

 

​​​​​​​Yea, it looks really good! I need to repaint mine soon .. Its really faded and the paint is flaking off.. Not sure if I should go with a factory red or do a interesting color.

 

I tried to find the factory red but figured nothing was as good as factory. Unless I could find the exact same color I said I'd just paint it black snice everything else is black.

 

Nice. Did you use the special primer made for priming Magnesium?

 

nope...just regular ceramic primer...I didn't even know there was a special primer for magnesium...let's see how long this **** lasts...

 

very nice. Yeah iv been thinking about doing mine. You think it will last good with the heat? I don't want to be having to pull it off and paint it all the time

 

Wanted to do something different lol but yours looks good

 

Thx man...yours looks good too lol...it's different but pretty cool...idk if it will last only time will tell...I'll keep you guys updated...

 

Yeah please do. I would like to know if it is worth doing or just buy another one

 

Yeah hopefully it last but tbh i dont mind if it doesn't. I wanted another color but i order paint online thinking it was the one i wanted but it wasnt and i was like heck mind as well i already have the paint so i did.

 

well mine so far so good...a turbo coolant line ruptured under boost and sent coolant all over and wiped right off...still looks good...

 

How's it holding up?


What did you use for paint?


What did you use to strip?

 

Holding up just fine...I used aircraft paint remover...took a couple rounds of it...i used high heat primer and paint from advanced...think it was duplicolor...not sure...
