Thread: Valve cover dings and dents

Tweet

Awesome, nothing beats ability and knowing how to use the proper tools.

Thanks for the comments guys. OJ, I think I would stick with manual implements, it didn't take too much to straighten it out. I think I'm going to try the laser dot trick next time also, for a bit better accuracy.

As tomorrow is supposed to warm up a bit, I'm going to try and spray some epoxy primer to get them ready for the gold paint. Here they are all sandblasted, hot tanked, and ready to go....

Here's the official 2 x 8 valve cover paint fixtures...















A couple coats of H/K epoxy and a guide coat and we'll let it sit a couple days....

We had a couple sand-throughs on the valve covers, so some epoxy was mixed and reduced 10% to use as a sealer....








Here's the paint code for the early 60's Hi-po 390... Used acrylic enamel.





Finished up, looks quite a bit smoother than before....
