You guys just got a huge update on the coilovers literally this morning! They are on the delivery truck and will be to me by the end of the day! Videos will be coming!!
Next time, just cure in the sun. I did an outer primary cover for a Harley Davidson this morning. It came out perfect. There were a couple spots that I didn’t like so I resprayed a little extra to touch up and put it back in the sun. It has come out surprisingly well. Almost full proof.
always awesome to watch your how to vids. The wrinkle black looks the best when it comes to painting your valve cover. I did that with mine also. I know its in hind sight but if you do a valve cover again to cut a little time off, the holes where the valve grommets are, are the same size as a quarter. I used quarters to cover them up. But valve cover looks good!!!
@@RefineMovement the one in the video is black, if I want red, is it possible if I spray another red paint over the wrinkled paint? because there is no red wrinkle paint here.
I did this on my miata cover a year ago and didn't do a thick enough coat, so I'm back now to reapply and hit some other parts while I'm at it ;) Thank for the tips and the video!
followed the same procedure and it came out great did everything minus the heat gun overall a great cheap paint job it was only 12 bucks cured great looks awsome 👍🏼👍🏼
Oh heck about shooting some later! Nobody will care after another 100 years, or maybe a couple of years. Great job done, thank you for sharing your vlog.
Great paint job , I'm gonna do the same except what I am gonna paint is an old dentist arm boom that held the tray / tool / drills , it's a huge unit because it attached to the chair that you sit / lay back in .....I'm gonna separate the spittoon rinse and vac hoses... I'm just going to use the articulating boom arm for my coin / electronics microscope ..... It's going to resemble a AMSCOPE arm and the price was right .... FREE .... Saved me 300 bux ....
Dude!!! Car is looking nice! Just wish you had done this video 5 years ago before I painted my engine cover(D15). I painted it white but it was my daily so I had to rush it, but in the end still looked not too bad. But cars are looking better and better. Love the channel guys!
Haha thanks man! 5 years ago I had no idea I’d be able to have a second car that was just a project! I know the feeling about having to make sure something gets done on time when it’s your daily.
Thanks a lot Anthony! Try it man. Easy process really but bring your patience with you lol. I had a lot of fun with it anyway so I hope you do too if you do it
I will try to do this on my d16y8 valve cover with one change. Before painting I will try to polish letters and after painting clean fresh paint from them with scalpel. It should be easier to do. Greetings from Poland!
Hey man you could try using a long flat file or a large flat sanding block to get those letters all in one hit amd keep them flat no low spots no round edges 👌
I’ve had luck getting the paint off of the “Honda” letters by just using a scraper. Wait til it’s dry to the touch but before it’s completely cured and the paint will just scrape perfectly off the letters and “H” symbol. I’ve also seen people use chap stick on the lettering so the paint just comes right off.
Just for the future, purple power is not safe on aluminum. This is why you got all that staining. But since you're painting it, it doesnt really matter. Paint job looked good though👌
How to do a good job on the raised letters? Masking or sanding? Answer: Neither one. Spray two medium coats of paint with just a few minutes flash time between them. While the paint is still wet, use a SMALL rag (cotton t-shirt type) and some aerosol carb & choke cleaner. Stretch the rag over the tip of your index finger and wet the tip of it with a quick spritz of carb cleaner. Very carefully use your fingertip to wipe the paint off of the raised letters while it's still wet. Turn the rag very frequently as it saturates quickly with the still-wet paint. It need not be perfect at this stage. Set the part out in direct sunlight to cure it. The sun heats it far more evenly than the heat gun can. The part will wrinkle in just a few minutes. While it's still hot and "soft", the rag and index finger can then be used again to get the letters perfectly clean. No grinding, no sanding, no masking. Before handling the part too much, let it dry overnight to harden up well.
Haha thanks for remembering man! But yeah, it’s hard to not want to do my best at it. Then I see the result and I want to do another one now and really make it special. But you know the feeling!
Nice job Robbie! I can't waitto do the same to my swap when the time comes. I feel ya on the restoration aspect. I'm probably going to strip the rear on my hatch and possibly paint that too. Maybe a rear harness wire tuck
Thanks a lot Ted! I’m happy to hear you understand on restoring parts. It’s really rewarding man and making one part new at a time adds up to something really nice
I wanna do my bike exhaust...i think I'm gonna use the wrinkle-paint , first... Then after it dries , hit it with their low-gloss black header paint.... That should cover blemishes .
Finally !!! Haha, quick question y don’t any of you guys have upgraded motor mounts? If both builds are for circuit why has that not been addressed, I swapped mine and the difference is so much better, love the vids keep on building.
Yeah, upgraded motor mounts are something both of us want to get. There’s just so many things to buy for these cars it’s really just a case of they are on the list of to-do’s
Thanks for the video. Very informative and probably best instructional. What do you think about mixing in the red paint to try for a 50/50 black to red or even a slight red tint like 25/75 red to black?
I’d say yes if you’re going with a lighter color so it pops more but if you’re just gonna do black or anything dark I don’t think it would really matter cause it’s textured
Idk if you still reply to comments, but any suggestions for what to do if you have rounded bolts on the brackets on the cover? Mine are kinda siezed to the valve cover and the bolt just gets round when I try to take it off.
