well, decided to polish the valve cover on the balt.....however I couldn't find any polishing wheels around here, so I did the sanding and made due with some polishing compound and elbow grease haha....well, it looks much better then stock. Just have to get some polishing wheels and hit it up again and make it shine.

 

looks good

 

Good Work!!! It's what I've been doing to mine,but it's pretty slow going with the thing on the car

 

thanks I actually took it off the car today so I can sand and smooth out the whole thing.....when I find the rest of the stuff I need sometime this week I'm going to actually polish the accessable pieces so it looks good.....next up is the supercharger

 

i can see now my next appearance mod Thankx

oh good job!!!!!!!!

 

Wow... that looks really nice... not mirrored, but good and clean. I guess all of us club members know what we're doing next... how hard was that?

 

good luck man, its really a pain in the ass.. i suggest not trying to get into the little crevices.. thats the biggest bitch.. i gave up and did this..

 

lol, it will be mirrored when I get to sears or someplace and find a polishing wheel to finish it up. Aside from that it wasn't to bad....took about 10 minutes to get the valve cover off, then some time with like 4 different grits of sand paper, then some polishing compound.....I'm happy with it sofar, it looks much nicer then stock

 

yeah my husband was trying to polish mine and gave up and decided to do metal cast red paint on it instead. LOL!

 

haha, it's not really hard....just a little time consuming But it's worth it in the end!

 

Yes, but if you knew my husband you would know that hes super impatient. Usually when he paints something too, he gets impatient and it looks great and then he does the last coat and there are rusn galore on it. Thats why I was amazed when he showed me my cover that he painted and there were no runs.....but this is why I painted my headlights, he just took them apart. LOL!

 

The wheels are were its at, Once the finish is burnt in that's the ****!
BTDT

 

I'm going to hit up sears this week and look for some wheels to put in my die grinder and some good compound, hopefully I can get it to shine up a bit more. It actually looks much nicer in person, but I want a little more bling lol

 

That looks pretty good also.Remindsme a little of the old Offy that was in my grandfathers track roadster.Nice job!

 

do you have a pic w/ the covers on

 

SSteveSC that looks good! What did you use/do to achieve that?

 

Thanks for the cimpliments guys.. i polished the whole thing, realized it was impossible to do the side.. for me anyways... then i grabbed some high heat gloss black, and high heat clear coat.. and self etching primer.. and taped off where I wanted to paint and painted it.. haha.. simple as that..

as for the pic with the cover on, the cover is still being worked on, its got a special paint scheme as well, and im just trying to figure out the best way to tape it up, thinking pin stripin will work the best.. we'll see..

anyways thanks again for the compliments
