DIY: strip your valve cover and repaint (56K probably not)

[Mr. Lin]

i swear, all of the places that i've gone don't carry any wrinkle finish and i really don't want to have to buy the s**t online. i want instant satisfaction, damnit.

that looks really good.. thats alot cheaper then spending 150 on the "Type R" lookin valve cover..

thanks again guys

Valve covers look nice, considering this as a cheaper alternative to buying a new one. Why 12 hours to dry? Seriously??? Is that what the instructions on the can say? Can't you just bake it instead?

i forget what the can said but i let them sit overnight to air dry and then cure the paint in the oven

Where did you buy your Krylon wrinkle red? I look at Wal-mart, K-Mart, Lowe's, Autozone and Advance Atuo Parts. Couldn't find it to save my life.

I ended up ordering the paint directly from Krylon after pretty much calling every place that sells paint in this town. Cost me $10.99 a can, plus shipping.

Part Number: 3380
SKU# 724504033806

1-800-441-4223

So anyone wondering how to get it, thats how. Even the people at Krylon said this was rare paint. Odd

Did mine last weekend and went great looks awsome.

Aside form the fact that I busted a bolt off inside the engine when tightening Valve cover down...

I think im going to highlight HONDA with a color to match my car..

BTW: Wrinkle paint can be found at any Paintmart... Its called Krylon Wrinkle Finish, works great.

Finally got my paint yesterday, took two weeks to get it. I bought 2 cans just in case, ended up being like $30 after shipping. The things I do.... ...

I'll post up a picture of it after I get it all painted on Sunday.
