jUST SOME NEW PIX
NO the spoiler cost $96 from eBay. It is made our od ABS blown mold. The painting and mounting was done by a friens of mine at Modern Body Shop. Five coats of paint and to of Clear coat on everything
Doing the valve cover? Be aware that just painting it will not work. It seems that the valve cover is gas treated. So what you have to do is bake it and free all the gas for the paint to stick. This was an unknown factor and when paint was applied, and a air compressor was used to get the dust off, the paint just blew off. That is the purpose of baking it. It took about five time in the paint booth bake room to free all the gas from it. Just FYI
I have one concern though, Do you think that the heat from the engine and engine bay would get hot enough to harm the painted valve cover? And The extreme temp changed like going from hot to cold?
Trust me, when you bake it, you will see the vapors come out of the valve cover.
Now, anyone have any idea if i should be concerned with the paint cracking off under the temperature that the engine can get to
