Since I was tired of looking at my rusty VTEC solonoid, and scratched up plug wire cover I decided I need to resurface them and fix em up.

I decided to go with Duplicolor Metalcast from Autozone for $21.99. I bought 3 cans total (Adhesion Promoter, Base Coat, Blue Color)

Spray on two coats from each can, while allowing adequate drying time in between and you're done. Let the parts dry and put them on your car.

If you have a metal peice and you're patient at sanding, you can sand/clean the peice then skip the base coat and just use the adhesion promoter + the color spray to get an anodized look.

I think the base silver coat would be good for restoring rusty/oxidized parts without making them look flashy.

Let me know what you think of the blue look I created.

 

Looks gorgeous. Do the little valve cover acorn nuts too!

 

Yeah you should hit up the valve cover with a new coat of black too. Just to make it look a little cleaner.

 

Damn that looks cool as hell!! Very nice color and good writeup.

 

thats a nice hue of blue!

 

It seems sort of blotchy but it looks great nonetheless.

 

i used that stuff to paint the cap on my 1g BOV red. i'm kinda getting irritated by it because it scratches off REALLY easily

 

I LOVE IT! It's good to see that some don't overdo it, very clean, simple, and sexy

agreed

 

Paint the valve cover black, or just polish it?

If I paint it black, what paint should I use?

Thanks, it was blotchy. That's what I get for spray-painting off my apartment balcony in the rain. When the light hits it, it becomes several shades of shiny blue.

 

VHT black wrinkle paint

Nope, not over the stock crinkle. I would just clean up what you have or just spray some hi-temp paint from autozone on it.

 

Stip it all off and then BBQ black it i love that color that is what color my wheels are right now

 

very nice I also was planning to do that.
