To go along with the new rockers and what not I decided to paint up some valve covers since one of mine has paint peeling. I bought a set from a TRS member but unfortunately I waited too long and I wont have them before I go back to school. I ended up having to go to the salvage yard and grabbing a set. The paint I decided to go with is VHT Wrinkle Plus in black.
I gathered up the things I needed to begin. The paint, paper towels, sand paper, Aircraft paint stripper, and the two things that are the most important, beer and music.
I sprayed on the paint stripper and within a couple minutes it started bubbling up. The only thing I did not start with that I really needed was a paint scrapper and gloves. For anyone that hasnt used this stuff,
WHERE GLOVES! This stuff burns like fire. Hot ass fire.
After 3 coats of paint five minutes apart this is what its looking like as of now.
Tomorrow it goes in the oven at 200 degrees for 1 hour and they say that should really bring out some of the wrinkles. We'll see how it goes I guess.
On a side note though, I turned 100,000 miles today when I bought my new Gates belt.
