In this time-lapse style video I show the process of renovating the valve cover on the M20 engine. A follow up to my E30 valve adjustment video. Makes a big difference to the overall look of the engine bay and all it takes is about $30 in materials. I used Rust-Oleum high-heat automotive spray paints including a primer, black enamel, and gloss clear, applying 3 coats of each. I followed can directions for drying time, aprox. 24 hrs including time between coats, and covered the engine head with a garbage bag during that time.
Make sure you take your time and clean the cover as good as you can from all contaminants. You only get one shot to prep the surface which is the most important step and where I spent most of the time. The painting step is the easy part if you follow directions and can be forgiving with the many coats. Im no expert with the spray can as you will see on the video and it still came out great.
