Painted Valve Covers today, it took awhile to get all the grease and oil off. I still have to reseal the breather covers with RTV and order a set of valve cover gaskets and new screws for the breather covers. I'd like to clean-up the intake manifold but i'm already burned out. 2 coats high temp primer & paint
I should get it all done in time for spring.
Very nice, what paints did you use? I keep saying that I will do mine silver as well.
I have the main seal, spare covers and the aluminum screws. I just need the RTV and some enthusiasm.
I used Dupli - color engine enamel primer with ceramic and dupli-color engine enamel with ceramic color is: cast coat aluminum, bought them ay oriley's auto parts . You won't need a clear coat . I got all of the grease off with easy off oven cleaner and followed up with acetone. No fish eye when I spray the paint. There are a lot of imperfections in the casting but that would take too long to sand out. By the time you put back on the coil packs and engine cover you'll never notice it.
Where did you get the aluminum screws ?

I ordered 50 screws from a supplier, I’ll have to look up their name. I shared them with a local Crossfire owner.
