Heres a trick for the future. Cover all the letters with a strip of tape then tap around the edges of the letters with a rubber or plastic hammer and it trims the tape perfectly to the letter. That way you don't have to sand the excess paint off and risk damaging the paint close to the letters.

[@LATOMMYLA]

Thanks for the tip, might have to do that for my next valve cover I redo!

[@nutz4gunz457]

No problem man, the valve cover looks great. Ive alway had good luck with VHT products.

[@LATOMMYLA]

Thank you, and first time ever using VHT, was amazedddd

[@Aikidoman06]

You can also use a little baby oil then wash it off. It's still better to powder coat it yourself

[@brokenmotorwagen1328]

sanding it is faster, easier and leaves a fresh , shiny look

[@Drewliente]

the coin trick was clever.

[@robertpope3619]

Wow, it came out really good. Wasn't sure what to expect before watching the video. Good job!

[@RustyChevy]

Thanks a bunch chief. Definitely gonna try this on an f20b valve cover. Going in a blue on blue cb7 accord. I think the red would look sweet under the hood.

[@PaycoTsunami]

Dope! Excited asf to grab the black VHT and do my valve cover, thanks for the post!

[@LATOMMYLA]

Etch primer!! Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and you just DID! Love to see all these you-tubers who actually prove that the internet is a billion miles wide for knowledge but only 0.001inch deep. Proof that know EVERYTHING you see is best practice.

Now I know, Aircraft Remover is the main culprit of missing aircrafts that vanished in thin air in the history of aircrafts since day 1

The plural of the word "aircraft" is "aircraft" NOT aircrafts!

You should use a wire brush to get those little bits of paint in those tight crevices that weren't removed with the paint stripper. It's probably not a good idea to leave them because those are the areas where the new paint will start peeling a lot sooner than you would expect!

[@ricardoacosta977]

a pressure washer works great after you apply the striper and wait for it it bubble up. then hit it with the pressure washer and it comes right off

[@conradloag7046]

Even coats is the key did this on my b 16 in black sanded the logos the next day with 400 grit then a 1000 came out looking factory never thought to use a quarter for masking great idea

[@Name-ps9fx]

I’ve found that it is totally worth it to let the paint cure fully...if the instructions say “cure for 24 hours”, do it. Otherwise when installing the part, any little metal contact makes a scratch that just ruins it. imho

[@yurunning5574]

Super clean bay

[@GlockmanGG]

I think I’ll do my 40 year old Kennedy 520 toolbox black , good job kid 😎

[@smokintires8181]

For covers with embossed lettering or dips you don’t want to paint, use play-doe or model magic to mask it.

[@brandonbellacima66]

I just did this my valve cover tonight on my b16a2 swap in my eg6 thanks to your video. Love that quarter trick. 👍🏻👍🏻💯💯

LATOMMYLA you should check out this forum that just got started up a few days ago by @tommyfyeah its cornerbalanced.com a lot of people of there are into the track racing and performance like me and you!

[@LATOMMYLA]

Ill look into it!

[@erickrojas3560]

Looks pretty good, brother. Would recommend a primer before you do your next one!

I did mine my self too and as soon as I put the heat gun on it, it wrinkled up perfect.

[@LATOMMYLA]

Glad it worked out for you!

[@Mav8887.]

That shit looks amazing. I'm so mad VHT doesn't make wrinkled green. I need dark green to refinish old cast steel reloading press's. Now I think I'll just use Red or black wrinkle then go thin coat of green and it should work. I should've used red on my powder measure 🔥

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Savage! No primer? Cooool! If you look in my channel I posted a video 5 years ago of a valve cover I painted wrinkle black. I used a bright lamp overhead so it can wrinkle. It's a valve cover from India off a Honda City. I still have they valve cover hanging on my wall 👍🏽

[@LATOMMYLA]

No primer sonnnn, and I think the heatgun method worked perfectly for me!

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Just don't let a model sit on your valve cover. Might get stuck to her cheeks 🤔

[@jimmygrant3212]

You don’t use primer with this…

[@siliquaesid703]

Which is why it peels off after 6 months use under the bonnet. Same with "exhaust paint" gone as soon as you drive hard. Red hot downpipes? A little more than 600 degrees C. More likely you will end up pissing on them to try to put the fire out (yes I know your rocker cover will, or rather, NEVER reach a high enough temperature to set fire to pain)!

[@jaymorgan1290]

Beautiful results. Really learnt alot 🔥🔥. So quick question if one doesn't have a heat gun can one use a blow-dry on the heat switch?

[@cm392]

This is about to be popular

[@juliusjones8285]

thank you was able to findca website that sells there parts there hard to find ordering strut bars for ek hatch

[@hendrikkarsten3784]

It really looks nice. I would like to see how it looks after you installed it, can you share a picture 😀😀 And can you please tel what brand and grade oil do you use?

[@dropassassinofficial]

What you could have done is covered the labels on the cover with vaseline using an earbud very gently.....then after paint you just wipe it off because the paint wont stick to the cover because of the greasyness of the vaseline......I've done it a few times and it always works like a bomb

[@famus801]

Looks Good Asf

my mate used this painy but applied it with a brush on his intake mani. a year or so later its cracking off pretty bad. hows your rocker cover looking now its been a few years? still look good applying it by spraying it properly? wondering if i should use an etch primer before the red

[@javier90gonzalez87]

im thinkinh on doing my soch like that.that is really nice man never seen it good job man when you doint track time on it want to see that bro

Hi Tommy Do you have upgraded engine mounts? I'm thinking of energy inserts. Do you perhaps know if this will give vibrations. I really don't need that like it was but solid torque mounts. went back to oem but I also miss the stiffness

[@LATOMMYLA]

Yes I do, I am running innovative motor mounts with 75A bushings, they do vibrate a bit but not too bad. If you want someone an OEM feel look into the 65A bushings

How long is the lifespan of the wrinkle paint on the valve cover until it needs to be redone?

Use rubber plugs or cork to cover the holes

Not sure if it's an editing sequence thing but 4:36 best not to touch it after you've cleaned with alcohol as their is oils on your skin/hands etc.. use gloves ;)

[@admranch8154]

hi, is primer not needed? or much better with primer?

[@54Mechanic1]

Nice work dude, how many coats did you use on yours? I ask because, I actually prefer the finished look of yours over the more aggressive look of the one you did for your friend. It's a good look as well, but I usually subscribe to the "less is more" theory. Thanks for the video.

[@LATOMMYLA]

I used 3 coats but less amount of paint, no worries you dont have to subscribe, could care less about it.

[@bluegriffin2003]

Exactly how many minutes do you have to wait to apply the 2nd/3rd coat. Thanks

[@amaterasu8829]

bluegriffin2003 it says on the can 5 minutes

[@schalke04chester]

Good job buddy! Was one spray can enough for the whole thing?

[@LATOMMYLA]

One spray can can do 2

[@ricardoronosetiko3217]

bro if you would spray a layer of primer first the red would popout more i think but its just a suggestion bro

[@marcusjones457]

Those bubbled up spots are fish eye. They're caused by oils on the surface left over from either improper cleaning, or handling with bare hands after cleaning

[@amaterasu8829]

Marcus Jones the paint is designed to do that, and people specifically want that result when ordering wrinkle paint

[@svt_guido]

How can i get very little wrinkle... i only want a light texture...
