  • Valve cover mods done.. pics

    Finally done.. Still have a little fine sanding to do, can't see it in the pics.. These will look much better than what I currently run..

    Here's how they looked when I bought them:


    Here's how they look now:

      Wow...8-O...night and day difference, Larry...did you paint or powdercoat?

      EDIT: Nevermind...I should have seen the overspray on the table and the can of Rust-O-Leum in the background...

          I used high temp VHT flat black for the first 2 coats.. Didn't like how it looked so sprayed a coat of the rustoleum flat black.. Going to let it dry thoroughly and then see well it adheres.. Sorta worried about chipping.. I may still end up powder coating for durability..

                              I like them. Really surprised you chose flat black for your engine bay though.
