you painted it and put it in the oven ? can you explain what you did ? I'm guessing it was already dry befor you did this, because it would of bubled up, so I guess my question is.. what temp was it at ?

Re: Wee** painted valve cover**PICTS (piscorpio)
hey
thanks..for all the comments...sorry about the x's i have 150mb limit Bandwidth
well i used engine paint from Duplicolor( i used hot rod yellow) i think they are rated @ 500 F..it takes a while to do..like i said it took me 3 days..i baked it in the oven like 5 times 1st few times @ 100-150 F...then as the paint gets thicker...i baked it @ 250 F...u need high temp paint though..or else it wont be able to stand the heat..make sure u let it cool down while its in the oven...it comes out so much better than the ones i used to air dry..now its hard as hell and the gloss is awsome..now when i stain it i just take some windex or whatever, and it comes right off...good **** u guys should try it...costed me 8$ for 2 cans and some time..lata
