mustang aluminum valve covers Reply #16 – March 13, 2010, 04:25:09 PM I picked up some Rustoleum Hammer finish. We will see how it turns out on the valve covers first. I was wondering if I need to spray a base of black enamal then spray the grey hammer finish so I get the two colors? Quote Selected
mustang aluminum valve covers Reply #17 – March 13, 2010, 06:03:47 PM No,just the paint,and maybe a good self-etching primer first.CLEAN them like crazy first.sand them a little to give the paint something to grab on to as well. Quote Selected

mustang aluminum valve covers Reply #19 – March 13, 2010, 09:17:44 PM I read the instructions and this Rustoleum paint does not require it before painting. Thats why I bought it over the Krylon stuff. The Krylon wanted primer and something else. Plus the krylon will work on some metal. The Rustoleum said it does work on metal and just needs a cleaning and spray. I have a big parts dishwasher at work to make sure it is clean before painting.I will get pics up after I paint them next week at work. I am going to spray the intake, valve covers and any engine bracket. I may even paint the 130 3G alt too. Quote Selected
