crappy cans, I'll say ... I thought it were just mine ... but I reckon everyone I know had issues.
just diy serpo, all you need is a lil patience and be happy with not soaking your valve cover all over with one coat of paint. read the instructions on the can then follow them.
take care and take your time, its not particulaly hard.
if you dont know anything about taking your valve cover off just mark anything you remove with a piece of masking tape and pen so you know where it goes back on :)
allow yourself a whole day for it, it'll really feel worth it when you've finished

ok my mate said he will help me paint it hes good with this sort of stuff
:) shouldnt be to hard, as long as you get a spray can that works fine its a straight forward easy job, looks great to!
that came out queit good
btw what kind of sealant do you guys use to re seal the rocker cover? back ??
i got F22b1 sohc vtec accord .. im confuse what sealant should i use ???
rubber or the paste sealant?
thanks
Ok guys, I wanna give this a crack... but I dont know where to start to get the cover off!!! ( Non-VTEC from 95 civic ) Cheers
^^^^^^
then u probably shouldnt be giving it a crack :p
Yea...i agree with kazam. But if you wanna give it a crack then start by taking off the spark plug cable leads, then anything else thats connected to the rocket cover, and finally the screws. But you should try to remember where the screws came from too...you dont wanna be putting the screws in the wrong place. Hope that helps :)
i believe its 5 bolts for the rocker cover, 3 at the front (short) and 2 at the back (long)
I just started my valve cover on my B series engine, its currently on the BBQ for the paint can Wrinkle. Still have to sand it back and give it a few light coats. I will post my pictures when im done. :D
The pics arent workin mofo :p
I dont think the pics are working?
i would like to do this but without pics its helpless :(
i just did this.
turned out pretty well
but i think i would have got better results if i used a metal primer first. I sprayed the crinkle coat onto bare metal, possibly a lil thin.
pics?
nicee
