Does anyone know if there's a paint out there that will mimic the look of the black Ford Racing valve covers that have that rough texture to them? I'm thinking about doing my stock valve covers.
the craftsman and summit powdercoating guns have a black wrinkle finish available also if your looking for something more tough
I work at a Harley dealership and we have a couple different types of wrinkle finish paint. They're just different textures. They both stand up to high heat very well and would be fine on valve covers. The finish is excellent if shaken well and applied properly. Unfortunately they're like $10 a can because it says Harley on it, so you probably want to use this as your last resort. You can find it at any Harley dealership.
get some semi flat black...a bag of sand...lay a base coat...let it tach up one more cost wait about 3-4 mins...spinkle sand over it...lay 3-4 more coats on.....
we did this last year came out great BUT....this was on nonthing that heated up so im not sure how it would hold up on valve covers.
Yeah and having something loose inside the paint might promote chipping...i dunno. I'm probably going to go with bedliner spray if i don't find anything at Harley like blackened88lx mentioned.
i left the guy a msg hopefully he will tell me what brand it is
