- Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:19 pm #232134 i am using a flat top screw driver for the harder places now.I picked up a can of "rust check" red oxide sandable primer.It wil be easier to cover with wrinkle red with red... Right?? Do i spray it then bake it then spray it then bake it again.. Or make it thick then bake it and done?? I know how to sand and spary paint but what grits for best adhesion and the process i get mixed up

- Tue Jan 11, 2011 7:45 pm #232680 question has anyone primer these before paint?

- Tue Jan 11, 2011 8:12 pm #232690 aircraft remover will be your best friend in cleaning that and yes i paint alot lol and i always use a coat or two of primer then i use at least 3 coats base then a coat or two of clear check for "orange peel" then into the oven it goes for an hour

I sweep out my car for weight reduction only!

- Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:45 am #232795 i can see some commotion here.My buddy never primed.But if im putting in 4-5 hours of prep work its just as well to shoot some red oxide on it!

- Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:43 am #233138 If you use a primer then use something like duplicolor engine primer, its high heat.

- Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:24 pm #233425 i think i may skip the primer.You guys say it is not needed |


I was checking out some eristic valve cover gaskets on egay.You can get the tube seals,hold down grommets,and the gaskets itself for like $42 shipped...But people say thier gaskets are shit!(headgaskets that is)... Any input guys....
