I've got a protege valve cover that I've painted and am sanding and polishing the letters and lines on. I'm worried that the exposed metal will corrode over time. I have a clear coat VHT spray can. Should I use it? Is clear coat out of a can just going to look like garbage?

 

Yea you can use it, thats what i use when i polish valve covers. it works great.

 

I polished the letters on a cover 6 months ago to a mirror shine. They wipe clean to the same finish again if I run my finger on them. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Yeah, hit it with clear coat for sure. The letters WILL corode and the shine fade over time if not protected. Need another valve cover?

 

two is more than enough. Thanks again guys.
