I have a sohc engine. the valve cover paint is falling apart.what materials or machine do i use to "polish" my valve cover? does any of yall have pics of polished,powdercoated or painted valve covers. thanks

 

im not sure, but dont u have to "sand it" and "grind it."

 

wasnt someone talking about this before.. its better off taking it to a shop... someone will respond with the price... its nice when u see it at a show.. a polished engine...

 

 

 

 

Where did you go for the valve cover altimate94. I know you live around the way, so what a good shop.

 

i got it off of someone on .net...............but talk to SOUND2NR, he knows of a place on L.I. ......................

Yeah his place is good but they a lot of $$$
so i thought u might have know some one. but thats cool

 

i got it from a guy on Altimas.net, but hes from Maximas.org..............i dont know if he has any more but you can try...........his screen name is 1MAX2NV .................it cost me $150 shipped..................

yeah, you start out with a rough grade of sandpaper and the sand it down good with a fine grade of sand paper. it takes a lot of time and elbow grease.

 

It takes a little too much time and only comes out ok. WHen you get it polished/powder coated. Total difference.

 

powder coated is the way to go...doesnt fall apart and self polishing takes forever and you can screw up and make it look like crap, just spend the xtra $$$

 

Hi,
I have an extra DOHC valve cover I'd like to get chromed. If anyone wants to do it (I can pay the $100-$150 easy) let me know toddnappi@comcast.net
