Valmont Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Did you keep the bare metal portions with vasoline or something, or did you rold paint them or what? Looks great btw. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Did you use a primer for aluminum? I did a great paint job on mine and the paint peeled in less than a year. I cleaned it all up used an aluminum primer and painted it again and it has been several years and still looks great. BTW you did a great job of making that valve cover look better than new.

TexasZX Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 I was going to take pictures of it during the process, but I only got the chance to snap pics of the sanded and finished product. I'll see if I can do a write up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ww Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 That looks great! Mine is out for crinkle coat powder coating. Although, I tig welded in the spaces, bolt holes and I machined off the ignition wire mounts and the injector cooler mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
