well im bored. off for 3 days. so went to my mech,to repair my VTEC solenoid pressure switch gasket. so now my car no leaking at all.
so my cover is a bit dull,very ugly,peel offs chips. so decide to spray.
what u/i need to buy for this project?
1) paint removal for metal
2) small paint brush
3) 15vermillion + 33red (spray can code)
4) sand paper/scrapper/clotch/newspaper
how it starts!
1) remove my H22A cover.
2) using paint brush,brush all over the cover. n wait for 5-10 minutes. (be extra careful,because the paint remover is an acid,u will shouting if those liquid get in touch with ur skin)
3) brush if off with paint brush n also water.
4) how it looks like when the original paint is remove. (u need to sand paper for this part for smooth surface)
5) undercoat ur cover,with white or silver,very thin layer of spray. let it dry
6) spray it. switch over from 15vermillion to 33red. 2-3 times n spray another cans. spray it slowly. normal spray can technique of spray. left to right,right to left.
7) the cover when its dry,n ready. (oops sorry,its not yet completed). need to re-paper sand it back. re-sand it till the color bit dull. just to make the paint sticks to the metal valve cover.
* to be continued.
on next part. i will re-sand paper it,to make the paint sticks to the metal. then re spray again. n also remove the paint from DOHC VTEC. wait for me!
