Re: Painted valve cover (boywonda)

A couple of people have asked for a how to so in response:

Strip the valve cover w/ tal-II aircraft stripper and then sand it just enough to rough it up a little and then high heat paint of your choice... If you cant find the color you want in high heat, get some high heat primer then paint over that... You can get the materials at your local walmart or automotive store. Oh and dont forget to tape off what you dont want painted!!
