painted/powdercoated valve covers!! who's got what?!?!

chapstick is a nice little trick to keep the paint from not sticking, lot easier to just rub on then taping things that would take a lot of time to tape right

How do you get the bolts out when you paint it?

The bolts come out when you pull the valve cover, then you just pop out the grommets and youre good to go.

Thanks. Heres a few more for shits n giggles. Also a few of the maf pipe/flange...I ghetto taped it so the maf could get a good seal thats what theres sealer/a rough edge on the top side of the flange. Also looks pretty rough when in the booth bc I laid the clear on pretty hard, that was before it was baked/flowed out. Ones of it on the counter are after it was done.

painted mine when i had the engine/trans out. also did the timing cover. cam covers did get scratched when dropping engine back in. they scratched on the battery tray. i used high temp spray can primer, the closest match base spray can from autozone, and a high temp spray can clear.

When I took the covers off the bolts could slide up and down in the valve cover but they wouldn't come out.. so I have to pop some grommets off first?

^ They just pull right out after you unthread them all the way.

I must be weak.. I pulled on them and I thought they were permanent. I turned the cover upside down and none of them fell out.
