Is there a durable, high temp paint for the stock valve covers? Regular engine paint scratches off the first time you pop in the bail wire. I have an "industrial" rustoleum paint that may work. But it says not for over 200F.
Thanks. Scott. |

Maybe a powdercoat? I get almost all my powdercoating done in a black epoxy that my local shop is always pushing on me. Oil and gas resistant, and it's VERY durable. I had my trailing arms done, and then installed the Mueller bearings. Lots of banging and scraping and cussing, and there wasn't a scratch on them. I can probably get you the name and code for it if you're interested, it's from one of the big powder suppliers so any shop will probably have it, or can get it. |
