valve cover paint
Hello,
I have painted my valve cover about 6 months ago and now it looks like ****.
I didnt find wrinkled black so I used regular high temp. black color.
now it lost the shinning, any ideas how to restore its shine?
below you can find a pic just after being painted and another pic showing how to looks now. (already cleaned)

> take off VC
> aircraft remove the paint
> spray VHT
> oem style VC > than high gloss

Re: valve cover paint
get the semigloss black engine paint, the good stuff not the cheap stuff, I have valve covers painted years ago that still look fine, everything honda did black is always semigloss, so gloss doent work well

Re: valve cover paint
The procedure i followed is correct, but i seems the paint quality sux.
No correction can be done, guess i have to re paint it.

Re: valve cover paint
if you want a clear that holds a strong gloss you need to use a catalyzed clear. there is plenty of paint systems to choose from but that is a must if you are looking for a strong gloss.

thats my vc and the gloss held up perfectly until i stripped the paint off to change the color. in hot conditions it was still fine (even with 14 psi)
