Powercoating.
I just got my powdercoated valve cover. I decided to go with white and I think it turned out perfect. Anyhow, someone was saying that I need to make sure to clean it up. What should I do to clean it up? Second, I want to paint the lettering red. What would be the best way to go about that?
Here is the valve cover:

Re: Powercoating.
the suggested cleaning of a part after it is powdercoated is to remove any sand that was used to strip it of paint originally in the process. when i got my powdercoated valve cover, it had some sand on it. i would blow it out/off with an air hose. there is always fear that the sand would be circulated through the oil and could get caught in a bearing and do some damage. that's worst case scenario though.
Terry does a nice job, doesn't he?!

Re: Powercoating.
y not leave the polished lettering? damn that looks good!
I would just use brake caliper paint, but i think any high heat stuff should do the trick.

I see you also got the valve cover off of a 3000gt instead.
