3 hours painting trash cover.😅

[@curtisy6234]

I want to do this to my plastic engine cover..

[@johna4250]

Awsome job

[@dooby1445]

Holy shit using earplugs to stop paint going into threaded holes is amazing. I’m going to use that

[@icodirtjumper]

Very cool video! Sadly my paint process didnt go the right way. Paint is wrinkled on few spots and drops have formed on other places.What temperature did you set the heat gun to?

[@Naturesgiftyt]

Thank you !!

[@setterlee]

Looks awesome! What did you put on the letters to avoid that the paint stitch on them?

[@sebsefyu]

Yeah i want to know that as well, but it looks like chapstick

[@2doort]

That was chapstick right lol?

[@miatanationuk]

Shhhh ;)

[@curtisy6234]

That's a cool trick to get paint to not stick

[@whatsupitsjames5185]

Is this working across the board all valve covers?

[@miatanationuk]

Yes sir !

[@KentuckyFriedKiwi]

So the heat gun created the wrinkle look ? Or was it the spray paint

[@luisgonzalezEcotec]

Spray paint

[@nakeddrifter4685]

It was the paint itself, but VHT (the spray paint manufacturer) recommended you use a heat gun to make it wrinkle better.

[@Joshsmith-lu3ht]

What grit sand paper was used on letters?

[@nakeddrifter4685]

Start with something course like 240 if you have deep pitting and then work through 320 up to 400 or 600 to make it nice and smooth and to put nice machine lines in. If you plan on polishing the letters make sure to go up to at least 400 but 800 would make it easier.

[@ilias5468]

was 1 can enough?

[@JustinKapow]

Absolutely

[@gameing4life639]

Can you put it right back in?

[@miatanationuk]

Yes
