    Valve Cover Painting

    Here's a better question... How hard is it to paint your VALVE COVER? Answer that for me...

    About as hard as changing a tire. Unscrew the valve cover, buy paint, spray it on, redo valve cover.
    This is your M20 on steroids:

      just drop it! I have painted plenty of valve covers, and to tell you the truth, the one in question looks alot better than any of mine. I just dont have the patience for it.
      enough is enough! damn.

              This is the third thread that he's been shitting in about Mike buying a valve cover and not painting it himself. The others had to be locked.

              Second of all, he's only gone for a week. Furthermore, he's the second person that I've ever 'banned.' You can thank me later for banning "nickmhackp0wer"

                    Its pretty ignorant to ban me for that... I haven't been online all day and didn't catch wind of this until Justin called me to tell me... you dont know ANYTHING about the situation and I have never been warned for anything in the past...

                    The issue between Mike and I had nothing to do with him buying a valve cover that was painted... perhaps do some "moderating" before you pass judegment so quickly...

                    btw thanks for having my back Justin...

                    Now please close this thread...

                      BMWguy, I would recommend a short trip to a couple of places...you need to make a small oven for baking parts (NOT your food oven...just trust me on thins, OK?) a wooden box with heat lamps on top is just fine, but you need to be able to raise the part you want a bitchin' finish on to about 200 degrees for about 2 hours.

                      Next, after creating your paint baking oven, go to your local Harley dealer...ask for Harley brand "Wrinkle Paint"...expect about $16 a can.

                      Follow the instructions to a T, you will be abso-fucking-loutely amazed about the quality of the finished product.

                      Now, quit giving long standing members a hard time, be a good "listener" and learn your way around these cars...and these people.

                      GL,
                      Luke

                        Thanks for saying your piece in a civil manor Luke... this thread wasn't started to actually 'learn' how to paint an VC... It was started out of anger basically to stir up shit which I regret and thats whyI asked that it be deleted...

                        On the other hand... Mine has been painted for quite sometime and looks pretty good... I have done quite a bit of work to my car (which I'm not going into now) and know my way around my car PRETTY well... I'm not quite the newbie I'm being treated as but... hey... its R3V and I didn't expect any better...

                        btw... congrats on your new business and the best of luck with it... I LOVE I.C.E.... when are you gonna get some MB Quarts and JL's? Let me know and we might can do some business... looking to upgrade my existing MB QM seperates and JL 10w3... I need a new amp and receiver...
