Painting valve covers

powerlifter405 · Dec 29, 2013

My buddy wants his lly interior all gayed up like this.

Nice one Ty LOL, Quote of the day!

A satin black or something similar would be nice. I get what you're saying. I'm gonna spray line the interior of my bronco and use a bit of diamond plate in the back but I like understated.

There are a few dodgetards running around w/ 12" wide stacks tryin to roal coal, chromed out and w/ the pre-requiste truckballs :lame:

20007.3, do you have a website w/ the colors and/or patterns you can do?

How well does it hold up?

Blue motor when it went in...

Blue motor when it came out...

80k later... Regular motor paint. Held up good.

Yellow motor now...

A buddies dmax I did injectors on. Just cleaned them good and primered them and painted and cleared them. Its a sparkle red spray paint from Autozone I think. Looks freaking sweet.

Red and black... I liked it, but it resembles a company that used to sell engines on eBay, so I probably wouldn't do it again. I got tired of saying "no I built it."

Looks like mine.

I stripped down my heads to bear metal then primer painted both of them.

I'm going to remove the dog house on a set I have, weld in one plug and then a fitting on the other one... Remove the entire dog house. Once thats done I will get them bed lined...

Magnum PD · Jan 2, 2014

Good idea.

You know, I think everytime I've pulled the drivers VC I've cussed about that dog house, and thought to myself how much easier it would be to do a CCV with an old SBC 90* fitting out of the VC... But I guess I never really considered welding up the rear (or front) hole and goin from there...

Good call.

I'll mess with it this weekend and see if I can get it done. Should not take long, but you can barely walk in the shop now from all my "won't take long" projects...

I'm going to rhino or linex mine. They say it quiets the injectors down a bit.

I'd be in for that.

Chvyrkr · Jan 4, 2014

There was a guy on another forum that rhino lined his, trying to muffle injector solenoid noise.

It's been a whiiile, but I think the final consensus was that it helped in that regard, but held engine grime like a boss.

I'm also gonna try to paint the HPOP Rez also.

Turned out pretty good.

couldn't you just use a passenger side VC ? wouldn't have to weld a plug in one then?...

Im sure you have extras lol

Everything silver is powder coated, with a clear powder coat over top except the oil pan. That's rattle can with two coats of herculiner and exhaust manifolds were baked ceramic. Everything blue is the POR15 engine enamel kit.
