Painting EG Valve Cover... Learn From My Mistakes!

[@RobbieFerreira]

Before you guys go raging in the comments because you havent watched the entire video WAIT!! LOL I recognize we messed up and thats why I explain not to use that specific paint and stuff, it didnt turn out how we expected, but now that we know we can re-do it oneday and make it way better! Also I know its not "me" or "my style" to do the time travel effects and stuff but I think its super cool and fun to play with so its nice to change it up sometime, hope you guys enjoyed! #StayCommitted ❤

[@parkerjason999]

Hey brotha, I do minor paint work on cars and stuff all the time. I'm pretty sure you did fine with the sanding, but you probably could've used a primer first and then the paint and I think that would've helped it come out more of an even color. Either way, love watching your vids man, keep it up!

[@jake3247]

I'm in Vancouver wa in U.S. haha. We get that rain too$ haha.but your vids are dope man. I never was on KZbin watching channels untill I seen yours. Keep it up man your great!

[@thobias9382]

Paint the cover silver first, then blue :)

[@Mrjack-yn2dj]

Tbh in my opinion I like the way it turned out better than the full blue, because it just helps your name pop more

[@jake3247]

And that valve cover looks sick it almost looks faded light to dark on video

[@carlosdiaz3329]

“Yeah I saw ChrisFix do it” I’m shockeddddd

[@jakelahue5832]

Love the new editing style. Definitely makes the video a lot more entertaining

[@elliotbentley957]

If you ever revisit this, ive made the same mistake, theres a metalcast base coat that you have to buy which is like an aluminum coloured base that you can spray over the black. Then spray the blue metalcast and clear!

[@TruZule_]

You could totally use like a black or dark grey base coat to make some wicked designs in the paint with the blue overcoat. It'd probably be pretty sick. Just a thought for the future. #CommittedCrew

[@sjenkauski5235]

For sure. I definatly agree. Could totally like maybe sand the whole things down and then set stickers all over paint the whole thing black again then put the blue over it and end up with some sick lighter designs

Brooo, got hooked on these videos a few weeks ago, and just caught all the way up. I bought that same paint and didn’t the same thing trying to paint something that was black.. as soon as I saw what you picked up and the title I knew where it was going! Love from Chicago brother!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Man whe your spraying the green, black and chrome looks so cool!!! That is still a sick color combo for a car

[@daynehumeniuk9597]

Hey Robbie if you’re liking those anodized colours you can just use a lighter base coat like a white primer and then use the anodized paint on top and put coats until you’re happy with the colour. Obviously the more you put the darker it gets but then this way it’s more evenly coloured. I did that on my sisters car calipers and I found that out by taking some test tabs of metal with different base coats to better highlight the anodized paint.

[@nothisis4279]

It still looks good, Robbie! One thing I've learned over time. Is always double check paint before buying it. Lmao. But I think that metallic blue looks good with the way it turned out. It's a good offset of everything else.

[@chrisfeigl976]

that's awesome that you watch chris fix! Love that channel along with yours!

[@brandonervin9147]

Teleport was great lol me and my cuz used to do stuff like that back when windows movie maker was my playground in early 2000s lol as for the paint and yes I did watch the full vid, Metal cast anodized paints need the metallic silver base coat. It actually came out really well for not using it. LOVE the sticker idea!!

[@tanawz1254]

The cover looks sick bro! It looks like it has a gradient since it goes from light to dark

[@andrewschuepfer6523]

It looks homemade...i like it. You may want to consider grabbing another valve cover that way you aren't rushing the paint process. I like how the paint looks on the bare metal vs trying to cover the black.

[@gamalielaguila3395]

Literally had to watch this during work. I can’t believe my picture I drew came in one piece. Hope you guys like it. GJ

[@pauldamian0828]

You did good the first time with the sticker. I would've suggested use a hobby knife and cut the outline of the sticker so when you peel, you don't drag off any paint that you want on the valve cover

[@trissan2260]

Paint the inside of the doors black, it will look much better no matter what color you have on the car 😊 Love your videos and the grey looks sick!

[@TWISTEDScene]

You should sand the left side all the way down then towards the center do a grey in the center and keep the black on the right side so you can have that fade in look. This will look so clean and sexy, and also cut down on you needing to sand all that down. But very nice great idea on the Color.

[@SpiriT0277]

Honestly Robbie the darker blue over the black looks tight af!

[@yuukokonagai]

As someone who is a noob plastic model builder and enjoyed painting during high school (not that I was good at drawing or painting). Ouch. Primer is important. It's also better to let each coat dry first before going onto the next coat. Base colours can also affect the results. It's not bad in my opinion

[@CesarGonzalez-tg4cw]

So cool that robbie also watches Chris fix

[@Scoon83]

Hey dude it's actually really good that you show us when you "pooch" things, because that's what happens to us all the time. So it makes you more relatable but also we get to learn from your mistakes. Maybe you could even do a video about how to "un-pooch" it haha. But seeing reality as opposed to the YTers who just magically do things perfect the first time helps me... well, it helps me stay committed to doing mods when they don't work out straight away :)

[@connormackay6641]

I don't know if anyone has said this or not. But I've used this paint before and it just gives a blue chrome look to any colour you spray it over. I didn't know either and sprayed it over something red and it turned into a chrome purpley colour. So I'd recommend painting the cover white or primer coloured first and then it should turn into a nice chrome blue.

[@jasonfarquhar5932]

Honestly the darker royal blue looks hella better vs the electric blue before it dried. It Looks amazing, Don't change a thing! I would never guess it was rattle canned vs air brushed because it turned out so well in my opinion.

[@arprecisionmodshop-1446]

That paint is basically a tinted clearcoat. It's to be sprayed over polished or reflective stuff. I've actually got a video on my channel how I used it go make my corner lights amber. You need to go full polished and super light coats. Comes out good but easy to mess up. Great paint though. You can also spray it over a silver "ground" coat they refer to it as.

[@detailingandstuff]

A kind of cool idea for the engine bay is you could paint the inside of the hood in chalk paint/matte black then have fans sign it at meets with paint pens. Then clear coat over it.

[@crazyyking2352]

11:27 got me dead “really chrisfix did it”😂 I watch all his vids and it’s funny to see the comparison

[@ademali4664]

I love your videos man, keep up the great work ✊

[@chuckdog2000]

I’m actually kinda liking how the blue shifts to a darker blue on the valve cover.

[@shadenmerasty329]

Love the video. You are the Canadian TJ and I really hate you have no snow There’s so much here in Saskatchewan hahah keep up the great work🔥🤙🏻👌🏻

[@aaronwoodard8980]

Personally I think it looks cool with the change of colors in the hood

[@VFYTChannel]

Red goes great with gray, If you clean the engine bay and polish the red paint inside, It would look amazing, chrisfix has a great video on cleaning your engine bay, and there are loads of videos on polishing a car finish. Also, I would paint the valve cover the same gray as the car to contrast with the shinny polished red. Cheers.
