!!!!!operation Valve Cover Makeover!!!!!! B14 se-R
My car
Material needed:
400,800,100 grit SP
Duplicolor Mirage kit
Masking tape
Hobby knife
Degreaser
Tack whipes
Have a good and confident attitude towards your work
BE PATIENT
i started off by sanding it down making everything nice and smooth using wire brush and working with differnt sand papers to clean it up really nice.......Next i coated it with degreaser and used my dads pressure washer to make it all nice anc clean as a baby as$:confused: lol
next i dried it off real well and after that i layed down some masking tape to mask off the infinity logo and twin cam logo......Being patient i had to trim around the letters to make it just right......If ur not a patient person, skip this part and wait uuntil after u've painted and use a dremel to polish the letters if u wish. Next i gave it one final whipe of 1000 grit sp and wiped it with the tack cloth. The kit i got was duplicolors mirage red/blue kit........In diffrent angles, u can see the color change. I gave it 3 coats of the black primer followed by 6 coats of the paint and a whole can of clear:rofl:
between each coat i waited around 10 mins and wiped it ever coat with the takc cloth to take off any over coat or debris that may have got on to it.....

COATS OF PRIMER:
COATS OF PAINT: LIGHT COATS ALWAYS...

Does anyone have a link to that site online that can put any color into a spray can for you?! I've been searching all over this forum and Fresh Alloy and have come up with nothing. I know there's a company out there that can put any(especially factory Nissan) color into a spray can for you and/or make a spray version with high heat resistance. My valve cover is coming off soon and I want to paint my shit!
