MoltoMario Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looks very cool. If they had it in a bright orange Id probably rock it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICE Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looks real cool in black, I had my valve cover like that in red Heron had painted it for me years ago but it started coming off in a few spots, possibly from contact with wrenches.. Looks good in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyWadd Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 i wonder if that quiets the valve noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good in black. sadly paint does not stick very well to aluminum no matter how well you prep it. they have special additives for professional paint that helps but still not fool proof. it will chip off very easy with the slightest bump of a tool or part being installed.

BC_99 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 That stuff is pretty tough. I have been considering doing my c-pillar trim in it since the factory black is wearing thin. BC_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Looks sharp. How many coats did you lay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICE Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 There it is in red, it lasted a few years but note that lil grey spot, that is one area where it came off.. This is an old pic of a previous setup..http://lh5.ggpht.com/_hllfg0A_1bY/SXQJ8eOj0gI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/ZWMk9H95A5A/s800/SG-%20215.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strang3majik Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) I love that stuff. Put a few thick coats on it, and go over it with a heat gun to get a nice even wrinkle... I did the supercharger and valve cover on my GLH like that. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt282/strang3majik/DSC02621.jpg Edited August 17, 2010 by strang3majik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
