[@jasonhamby1185]

Old school with the chapstick. Hadnt seen that in yrs. Cover turned out great! Looks brand new

[@hourglass3856]

I wasn't digging the color too much till I saw it with the bare letters and the silver plate on it. It looks sexy

[@machos]

Great job Evan. I remember trying to paint my Non-VTEC 1.3 liter Honda CRX valve cover 15 years ago and how bad a job I did. I wish I had this video to inspire and show me how it's done. I subscribed after seeing this.

[@josephvolk4305]

Love the way you present your video. Am going to do my 88 Vette covers tomorrow. Going to follow you step by step. Thank you so much

[@hundreddollarbiller]

Awesome valve cover paint tutorial! I'll keep watching until I see that finished GTO! Keep up the good work!

[@SFRedhawks13]

Man that looks fresh! It turned out really really good!

[@thomasmendoza1780]

Bro. This just became my favorite channel, man. I’ve been watching the channel here and there but now I feel committed lol mad props. Seems like the videos are made for the people 🙌🏻

[@dylanlichtenstein4213]

I have a 1991 dodge stealth rt tt I just found your series on this vr4 3sx will help you with a bunch of oem and aftermarket stuff for your vr4 I saw you have play in your shifter they sell solid brass shifter bushings I can't wait to see what you guys do with this

[@robdelg1510]

Evan love this message.

[@FerpiliciousProducts]

That came out super nice with the spark plug cover and oil cap matching the brushed aluminum looking letters super well. That chapstick tip is awesome.

[@tre9563]

That was so informative it couldn't of been anymore than how u said to do every step.. very great content

[@albertoirizarry4709]

Wow that looks great man, that’s amazing

[@garystinson1060]

NICE TIP ON THE CARMAX! I've always used tape or sand the letters, this is awesome!

[@JoonRhee]

Great video! Excited to this myself...might I add that when attempted PLEASE WEAR SAFTEY GLASSES WITH THS PAINT REMOVAL APPLICATION. :) Thanks for the help

[@Tsmania12]

The color came out great!

[@IntegraDIY]

Dang! great job man! 👍

[@Canseeyt]

Evan does it again! Awesome job!

[@josvandijk7434]

Looks really good!

[@developmentdivision122]

LOOKS SICK!

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Great job bringing some life into that 3000GT !

[@jamesfcookjr]

Evan buddy that looks great nice job 👍😊

[@alexispreciado3213]

I love it I'm going do it on my 93 stealth 💕💕

[@daryldelancy3588]

Great job!

[@darrenpea2498]

Looks sick with the dress up kit and the brushed aluminum look on letters nice job! Thanks for the video and keep em coming helping low budget people work on thier cars. :)

[@vitorgfelix]

Just subscribed! Damn cool project, make sure to paint the intake manifold too, wrinkle black would look really good!

[@XenixoweGranie]

The colour looks sick, love mickeys ad at the end 😂 keep the great videos coming guys

[@Calamityclown09]

Evan, you gotta do something with that intake manifold now dude. Looks bunk with the awesome new paint on the valve cover. Good job man

[@kennyhoang461]

I need this in my life rn :O

[@tylerserafini2237]

That looks fire

[@GaryUganShoop666]

Another AMAZING JOB!!! Linda into that jazzy-ish trumpet for the reveal, what is that?

[@randalceniceros8157]

Mad props ! I used regular paint Honda and Acura and not issues. I stress valve cover must be free of grease. Strip wash use brush. Prep is 90% of work.

[@wirenchangoer4101]

That valvecover is lit!

[@maveric0738]

Great job.

[@ComicKidzz]

looks mint

[@Kristin_Soul]

Wow that end result looks great 👍🏻

[@DrucifHBarth]

Do you need to drain all the oil out before taking the cover off?

[@fizmo100]

That looks great - if I'm honest I thought the spark plug cover looked a bit naff when it went on in your last video, but now you've done the valve cover too it looks amazing. I recently got a TT GTO... Guess what job just got added to my 'to-do' list!

[@photoggenes7443]

If you have time, should you bake on the paint in the oven? or waving a heat gun? Or will the engine heat baking on being sufficient? Great video. I am going to do this with my Goldwing GL1800 valve covers.

[@austinjames199758]

B is for build did the lettering stuff as well

[@devanclos1994]

Damn that shit looks real good

[@yocrew2000]

A little tip. Have the valve cover sandblasted. Cheap, clean and you don't have to use chemicals.

[@ShepherdTeam6]

I put the valve gasket before the paint job using the dental floss technique. It just made it easier for me to do it in one day.

[@samneno]

Maybe it was edited, but did you use the rtv where it was supposed to be used? Otherwise it will seep oil.

[@95_zenki52]

I wish I knew about the carmax trick before i did my valve cover

[@Yuhyuhadam]

u guys should do a super clean to the engine bay...give it some new tubing...and its gonna slay !!

[@pandalso5793]

Man I wish my 96 3000GT looked as good as yours! Ive got a few bezels missing in the interior a weird cave in on the bumper a failed smokey attempt on the tail lights, marker lights and thats from the previous owners... they were not nice to it... so ive got a expensive project...

[@foryouforyou8873]

nice good job

[@Kozo_Hoshino_]

should have done the intake manifold and rear valve cover all at the same time. from another vr4 owner. makes the engine bay look much better and other 3kgt owners can tell you went the extra mile to do everything right. most people will not look for the rear valve cover but "we" will.

[@hamzajk1]

Do the headlights

[@MichaelBacon212]

Hot Damn the valve cover looks amazing.

[@jamesfcookjr]

CWB squad sorry guys not able to go Saturday to the show was not able to get my tags for my truck maybe next time 😞

[@EnCoroPeroENSERIOJT]

Did you have to drain the oil out the engine before removing the cover?

[@ak-30]

"You can see the primer through the primer" 😄😄

[@Op117]

Can I use caliper paint since it’s high temp, I really don’t want to buy new stuff

[@ralphburrows8073]

Dude you need to take the exhaust manifold off and run a wire brush on it to make it look a bit newer, it would match your newly painted head you just did such a nice job on. Its funny, when you were painting it on the cardboard, it looked a totally different color it ended up being on the car. when it was on the cardboard it looked a bit bland, but once you got it on the car it looked OEM in a sense but like new also. New OEM i guess you could say..

[@alimohamad6594]

9:05 NICE MEME BOIIII! !!

[@Super555yyy]

Do tj’s 2j in the 350

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

Awesome

[@TempoMontages]

this shit really burns. i got some on my hand the first time i did this and ever since then i wear 4 pairs of gloves because it burns through gloves

[@Racemuiss]

can you paint plastic valvecovers? the car is an opel omega 3.2v6. it has plastic kinda covers?

[@petrosst]

Make a video cleaning the bay

[@ryleewilliams3645]

Will this melt a fiberglass bumper?

[@GaryFabian]

what if you left the cover on and just masked off everywhere around it & just painted over the old coat a paint with new coats?

[@mateomorizio2777]

hell ya Evan

[@Wafflebrah21]

All this engine dress up but you didn't degrease the bay. I'd do that, then install the new shiny stuff while having a clean area to work in. Love the car

[@robdelg1510]

That hat tho. You guys have any in stock?

[@throtl]

[@Aikidoman06]

I like the car ex trick. Back in the day we put Vaseline on with your finger tip. After everything is cured you just wash it off.

[@harlenlopez8917]

Carmex, you sir are a fucking genius!

[@CsHamieCz]

0:23 name of the fatman scoop remix?

[@mj_aussie_coaster_travels8310]

I know the rear rocker cover is pretty hidden but it just seems half assed to not do that one too. When’s the gearbox getting done? I would have thought that would be the first thing fixed over all these small bits and pieces.

[@throtl]

+Nstg8a we are still waiting on the clutch to come in so doing some of the small stuff while we wait.

[@DrucifHBarth]

Do you need to drain all of the oil out before taking the cover off?

[@Vacated204]

no lol, when your car is off all the oil is drained into your oil pan

[@connorashby7361]

You should paint the mitsubishi logo on the valve cover red

[@xXGamers123Xx]

Make more how to vids 😁

[@iTzKomplett]

i just found a simular car here in norway, and it cost around 20000dollars or 180 000nok

[@Destroyer0922]

Do u need a new gasket if you take it off and paint it

[@thinkhero017]

Wow bay area buggs intro song

[@ingridcalderon2714]

Make the Mitsubishi emblem red

[@The.Black.Machine]

'Im just ganna keep moving forward... nice meme."

[@Gomepez]

Throw some clear coat over that open aluminum

[@motosr9703]

Hey guys, need help on my 3000gt SL 92. Hit me up when you get this.

[@frankmata1812]

I did everything as instructed,but once tightening the bolts,it tore the paint.

[@jayrock3629]

😍 dreamy

[@Alejandromfs1121]

Niceee meme 😂

[@4x4forlyfe]

LOL you used a shit load of that aircraft stripper. Should have installed an AN fitting into the valve cover while it was off.

[@jordanwigley8909]

I painted mine with same engine Paint and it all just cracked and flakes off

[@scottmcbride2237]

The only problem with clear coat is that it turns yellow

[@cleenton9578]

Don’t use chapstick if it is hot out. It melted down the lettering and I had a bad time.

[@leodriscoll2929]

That engine needs a flushing bad judging by the inside of that cover.

[@bradharper9282]

I was gonna comment on that sludge.

[@pacifistninja5321]

Paint the intake manifold

[@PedroTheEpic]

Thats an odd shade of red

[@fatherpatri9386]

looked better before, also it didn't really need work compared to many other parts of the car.

[@frank_texas7400]

if the cover gets to even 400 degrees the paint will be the least of your worries

[@gio_ziraqa]

All this hustle for almost same colour lol

[@asif5710]

Where's the porshe :'C

[@throtl]

+asif stay tuned!

[@ericsondergard]

Ahhh the ol Auto zone channel. I mean throtl 🙄
