turboHLS30 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Here's my valve cover. The valve cover and Cartech plenum are wrinkle black with a layer of gloss black to add a little shine. Came out like a satin black. BTW this motor is for sale :D Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 How's that polish job holding up? I hear you have to keep on it to keep it up. I'm sure a nice coat of clear would seal it up real nice Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm sure a nice coat of clear would seal it up real nice Wrong, actually. When clear coat is on the valve cover, it only takes a short amount of time for it to get nicked in various places and start peeling, then look like shit.

Dirk Diggler Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Come on fisch... I love your valve cover Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 How's that polish job holding up? I hear you have to keep on it to keep it up. Looks terrible at the moment, have not spent any time keeping this motor clean recently, spent the time on the VG conversion instead. However it onloy takes about ten minutes to make it shine very nice again. :D Quote Link to comment
