Not trying to **** on thread but,

How was it prepped prior to paint? I would hate to see it ruin an engine like mine did after I had it painted...

 

How did you paint your valve cover?

My powdercoater always uses a base coat.

 

He's referring to whether or not the cover was blasted. And then how it was cleaned afterwards.

 

 

yeah. all those sparkles in the picture are silica. That cover will ruin an engine. Sorry to post this, buy buyers need beware.

 

Meh. Scrub it with soap and water and a plastic bristle brush after disassembling the baffling then rinse everything well. Shouldn't be a problem afterward.

 

exactly shooter thanks.

The going cost of a dirty 99 miata valve cover is going for 75$ to 100$ right now and a powder coated one is over 200$. In my opinion the valve cover alone in its condition is way below the market value. On top of that, every time I sell something the buyer gets freebies from me most of the time.

Where are the sparkles and silica - can you please identify it. I had my cover also Powder coated and then washed with soap and water but not not use a brush and perhaps should have. Now that you pointed this out, I am slightly paranoid and thinking to pull the cover off again and give it another bath. However, would be helpful to spot what you are seeing.
