KenshinX Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 After doing the floor pans I decided to touch up the engine bay alittle. Spotted a can of Rustoleum High Heat BBQ paint, also good for automotive grills stoves fireplaces radiators etc. I was just gonna pain my vlave cover all one color to make it look better than it did. But I started to get creative as I started sanding. Materials: 100-500 Grit Sandpaper (left over from the floor pan project) Freebie* Painters tape (also left over) Freebie* Drill and wirebrush attachment Freebie* Rustoleum High Heat paint $4.78 (on sale at Lowes and bigger can 15oz!) Total: $5.05 w/tax and 3hrs of work Before: After: Product: Withstands upto 1200 degrees Also noted I did this without removing anything but the spark plugs wires. I really didnt feel like taking the cover off. Painted the headers radiator and manifold I think it came out really nice. Sure beats paying $8 a can at autozone etc. for high temp enamel. I was considering getting the semi gloss or gloss black but, I am pleased with the flat black color. This will do until I swap motors.
