1: To start off, clean the inside of the valvecover to rid it of oil and any crap.
2: Remove all gaskets
3: I degreased the valvecover before I started to prep and stuff to get rid of anything on the surface.
4. I layed the cleaned valvecover on a clean towell (not a new one duh)
5: Gather the paint and get things in order
6: Wit the valvecover already cleaned inside and out and on the towell... use the aircraft stripper and coat the valvecover.
7: Wipe off excess old crinkle paint
8: Coat teh valvecover again with the aircraft stripper and set it outside and get your powerwasher or hose ready.
9: Wait 15 minutes for the Aircraft stripper to set in and then blast the hell out of it with the powerwasher. Flip the valvecover over and rinse that out too. You will need to make sure there isnt any OEM crinkle paint on the valvecover at all.
10: After that, take a air hose and clear out all the water so that it is totally dry. It should look bare like this.
11: Plug all the holes so that it doesnt get in the threads.
12: Spray the High Temp primer in coats. Spray one coat on and let dry. Usually, this will take 20-30 minutes. I made sure it was around then before I sprayed another coat.
13: Continute with coats. I sprayed 3 coats of primer.
14: Lightly spray on the High Temp Engine Color Paint.
15: Dont be disappointed with the first couple light coats because those aren the real color of the cover.
16: Continue spraying coats. I quit around 5 coats. It is very glossy and its drying.
17: Let sit and dry for 24 hours to let it harden so it wont look like s**t when under heat.
18: Install the cover, clean and enjoy.
