Looking good! If you can, I have heard people put there Valve covers in the oven to "bake" out alot of the oils and all. It may help you clean up that VC even more.

 

Aluminum polish?

 

When your done, let me know how many hour's you put in that sucker.

 

O yeah i kno thanks, I decided not to do it.

Ok sounds good, Im actually making chicken wings right now so after they are done cooking ill give it a shot. Yeah it would actually look really good if there werent all those spots, if it does work ill post pics and probably re sand it tomorrow. O and wont the rubber on the bottom burn off? Im guesing no but just want to make sure.

sure, why u plan on doing this to ur v6 lol

 

Make sure you do it after the cooking of the food, I think the VC being in the oven like that will make the entire kitchen/house smell a little like oil. You make be able to find a DIY through Google.

Are you talking about the rubber valve cover gasket? If so, take that out before baking the VC. If you need a new one, it would be a good time to go and buy one... not too expensive.

 

Would definitely like to see how this comes out!

Has a nice deep tone, how does she sound at full throttle?

 

Full throttle sounds nice I love it, maybe Ill get a clip of it in the car at full trottle



Anyways back to the VC. Got some work done today. Here are the progress pictures. I'm a little disappointed in how it came out. I messed up a little towards the end with the layers, you can kinda see lines but im hoping wet sanding it tomorrow will fix that and then a couple heavy clear coats will make it disappear.

Painting Station.



Two coats of primer.


1st coat.


2nd coat.


3rd and 4th coat.


Like a dumb@ss i decided to try and finish up the can and ended up screwing it up. I dont have a pic of that but Ill post one up tomorrow while im wet sanding. Anyways if anyone has any tips on fixing my layering problem i cause please speak up. I think if I wet sand and then do one more layer it will be fine. Let me know your thoughts.

 

ok, so i wet sanded today and finally finished it. Here are some pictures:
