So i got a valve cover off a fella i know in st johns.He gave it to me.Here is two pics.I am doing it with wrinkle red. Hope you like it so far.
Its nonvtec but what can you do.Vtec b series are brutalllll to get around here.

no. I knew i should of clarified it a bit more sorry about that.What would be the easiest way to get in between the spark plu holes? It is getting hard to clean up
Any one have any suggestion on prep and paint ? that would be great thanks.

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

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 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!

If you use a primer then use something like duplicolor engine primer, its high heat.

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....
