dohc VTEC.. DIY spray!

[mrbear]

mr bear can tell me anot ? weather the spray can withstand the heat ..... tell the effect thinking of doing it on mine ......

* hmm to tell the honest i dont really know. because its actually depends on how you spray it.

* b4 spray also im looking for HEAT Resistant SPray. but unable to get other colors except for Black & Silver. only 2 are available. no other colors.

* as i know. because of heat,the spray color will "chip off". but actually it depends on ur spray,on how thick or spray is. n most important thing is technique.

* make sure ur cover is "free from dust,moisture,water,oil," etc etc.

hope if helps. anyone wanna add some infos/ideas?

* im using original stock. rubber gasket. for my cam cover. the original ones is the best. .. after opening it. u need to clean the rubber (gasket). then after spraying,bla bla bla n everything. till the time u wanna fix the cover. u need to applied the gasket gum. to avoid any leakage. clean ur head./metal. n etc2.

Mine also DIY like Mr.Bear, after sometime the paint does chip off. It's like getting spots on the paint. I did apply heat resistant paint(silver) before spraying the red.

* yup2.. not too thick.. not too thin.. make sure u spray nicely.. n also sand it after it dries. n also spray back. i do few layers. spray.. then let it dry.. then sand paper it. then wash n rinse it. let it dry n spray back!

* thankx bro. just a small easy work. hahaha..
u can take off ur head cover if u got enough tools. no worries!

u can cover ur head with newspaper. then close ur bonnet. nuthing will happen.

bout heat resistant. from all shops i went thru. heat resistant spray only available in black or silver. other than that is not available. ive seen lots of spray cans colors. till make my eyes blind.. :shocked: :shades_smile:

since DIY my head till now. seems all ok. no faded sports,no cracks n chips. might be its still new. need to c the results after 2-3 months perhaps??

enjoy ur DIY!!
