Painted Valve Covers [Merged 11-8]

[jacobevan611]

Here is mine that I just finished up. Not to shabby for my first one.

That looks great. Is it powdercoated?

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Here's one I'm working on. haven't taken any real good photos of it cause I haven't finished sanding down the letters.

But now that I see that Two Tone color I might do that.

that fake carbon fiber water jet stuff looks good. i almost didnt tell it was fake the first time is saw the stuff.

Quick question, can you powder coat something that has already been done? I bought a valve cover that was previously powder coated, but i want it bronze like my wheels. Is this possible?

 

[Blurred Talon]

^ I think the old Powder Coat needs to be blasted off but don't quote me on that.

 

[Blast3r]

Digital camo compressor housing? where in the world can I get one of those?

Any problems with the paint burning? Stinking smell? I have been debating on doing mine. But, I do not want it to constantly stink. Or for it to look like poop after a day of driving it.

As long as you prep it right it will hold up. The first valve cover I painted I had for about 5 years and still looked great when I repainted it (I only repainted it for a color change). And I didn't even use high heat paint (although it's recommended). It's been about a year on the new paint job and still looks brand new.

 

[razrman8]

I see. Thanks for your input sir.

 

[liquidnote]

it's a simple process anyone can do. look up alsa paints, here.
Alsa Corp | Water Transfer Printing


It's not art. so I'm not impressed, I do this for a living so i can see through the stenciling.

Wait what???? you mad bro???? i didnt say it was art or it was air brushed it definetly is hydrographics but as far as it being simple???? well good luck with that. Listen man you calling me out and saying your not impressed and that this is not art well explain to every one how your markham and craig fraiser stencil techniques are so unique when any one can do those old cheap tricks??? and btw the tank with the eagle is not a stencil and yet your still not impressed? wow!

im not trying to have no pissing match with you but again dude dont think your the only one who can create art!!!! and btw i can link every one to where you got your dvds too you know.

 

[KeelesKustome]

wow...........

I wasn't downing you at all, i'm not a fan of hydro transferr thats it, your eagle looks good but it's not a valve cover, although your women on the other hand need work.

Also you are mistaken in the methods i use as well, as dvds' I know they make them, but i haven't seen any and refuse to, so that it won't taint my own thought pattern.

Keep up the progression man, even if I don't like one of your pieces, doesn't mean I don't like all your pieces. I think you felt threatened by my comment, which tells me you took it out of context and tone. People asked how it was done so i linked it up even though i'm not a fan, it's that simple.

As for trying to bash me for doing so, shows your lack of integrity man. Not kewl at all.

I'd love to see more of your valve covers, but i'd hate to see this thread be deteriated over different opinions and styles. When in the end, thats really the point.
most my work is on harleys and all over cars and don't belong in this thread heres a simple examaple.

All is forgiven on my end man, I'm kewl so keep your work comming.

 

[liquidnote]

Dude you use stencils stop playing! your work is ok not that great that skull is fist grade too.

 

[KeelesKustome]

okay, It's been way to long, but i was sent a bunch of covers for a supporting shop on the site, and a 2 week hopeful deadline, was blown out of the water, when 1 month late i still am not completely finished with them.
I have spent a ton of time on these things, more than i should have.. I know, but as soon as they are complete I'll be posting them up, I'm excited to see them done.
