Painting valve cover helps to improve look under the hood. In this video we will show you how to restore old oxidized valve cover which had chipped spray paint on 28 year old 1994 4th generation Honda Prelude. Also we will repaint plastic cover which has cracked paint.
This engine had some oil sludge which was a result of infrequent oil changes by previous owner. So as we can see back of valve cover had some oil sludge and burned oil. To clean it we used strong engine degreaser.
But it took 3 washes to properly clean oil residues.
To repaint valve cover first we are going to use two-component wash primer also called self-etch primer its a good first coat to apply on metal surfaces. Wash primer has to be applied on sanded and cleaned, degreased surface. For a plastic valve cover piece we will use epoxy primer it will help paint to adhere. After painting base coats we are going to add two-component clear coat. Its best to use clear coat with hardener it will last much longer and won't be damaged so easily.
