iam not a huge fan of that finish but other than that great job, diggin the red

 

will any brand of the wrinkle paint come out the same? i couldnt find the VHT brand...i found Krylon instead...i tested the paint to see how the wrinkle looks...it doesnt look like the surface on the b series motors. i guess they called it wrinkle for a reason...hahaa i looks like wrinkles...anyways, ill put it on and see if it looks good...i couldnt tell from the pics you guys posted.

 

pics are no good... all i see are red x's

 

my valve cover turned out pretty good. actually looks just like the paint on the b series covers. i guess the krylon brand wrinkle paint was a high temp paint, because it doesnt say on the can. paint still looks fine after a week of driving in the 100 degree weather. the vaseline didnt work...i still had to sand the paint off the letters. but anyways i took a picture with my camera phone, so sorry...picture quality sucks.

 

i dont c any pictures

 

High temp engine enamel. $7 a can at the local auto parts store. I sand blasted the valve cover, masked off all the areas I didn't want paint to be, and applied about 10 LIGHT coats.

It's been about 8 months, and the heat hasn't got to it. The side by the timing cover is scratched off though. I was replacing a belt, and had to move the power steering pump, and the valve cover was the only thing is would rest on.
