Finally got to work on my stripped valve cover for my Rio yellow.



I forgot to take pictures of it being primered but it had a really thick coat of primer and wet sanded nicely.

I originally wanted to do "Moonrock metallic" but after 5 min of searching for the paint code I got lazy and couldn't find it lol so I decided to go with "Magnesium metallic" from such cars as tthe Accord, Rsx and Element.

So I went to BAPS paint here in PA ( BAPS is a supplier of automotive paints-Http://www.bapspaint.com/ they can put any color of automotive paint into an aerosol can.) with the paint code and picked up the color and a sandable clear spray.





got my base coat on







and then a nice coat of clear ( which features a hardener )







Tomorrow will bring some wet sanding. I'll take more pictures tomorrow.

 

looks good !

Keep up the good work

I'm in Carlisle ( every time I post a new thread someone asks me that LOL ) I went to lemoyne, which is close to harrisburg, to get it. I see your in Harrisburg you should checkout patuned.com, it's a local site.
