Always make sure to paint right in front of your car with white wheels, if done correctly you'll be pissed with the end result.

That has got to be the cleanest valve cover paint/lettering job I have Ever seen on this. In my opinion this is better than those hydrodipped valve covers

@BecauseMiata 7 жыл бұрын

That turned out great! The letters look really good too. Let it be known that this tip only works on a 1.6 cover. The NA 1.8 has raised letters, so people tend to sand down the letters for silver letters.

@TheCarPassionChannel 7 жыл бұрын

+Because Miata My motor is a 1.8.

@lkkjhg45 7 жыл бұрын

The 94-97 1.8's have raised letters. Later heads (99-06) have recessed (like Greg's).

@BecauseMiata 7 жыл бұрын

TheCarPassionChannel I forget you have a NB engine. So yes you're right, the 1.8 NB engines have recessed letters like the 1.6 NA engines. But if you have a 1.8 NA engine, then yours (like mine) has raised letters. I know it can get confusing to those new to Miatas.

So how does painting your valve color make it rice. If you do it correctly it should look good

@Eastsidegeorgiaboy 7 жыл бұрын

Gin-Jesus it's the way that he did it. He was being lazy. he didn't do a good job on his prep work. he didn't prime it. and he painted those parts way too close to his car. that's how it was riced.

@zoenayru 7 жыл бұрын

Eastsidegeorgiaboy it can't be rice unless his claiming it adds horsepower ,do you even know what Rice stands for ? I've seen people with 500 hp on their car with paint jobs like this (black and red) on their engine bay

Looks nice. The NA6 (1.6l) has the recessed letters like that. The NA8 (1.8l) and NB has raised lettering. A little harder, but we have the option of sanding the paint off the letters and having polished aluminum lettering.

I...really don't understand how a nice looking engine bay is rice. Huge-ass wings, diffusers and massive body kits on stock cars is rice. But how is a show-room class engine bay rice? That makes no sense to me.

@SebastianD215 7 жыл бұрын

well, I know, but he said, "we're going full rice", but I know it's not ricey. Maybe if the cover was green, and the letters were pink. But he's not a moron. Also, Gingium admitted that for a while with his Miata build, Molly, he went rice for a time. But not anymore.

Looks excellent! I did the same color combo on my 1.6 valve cover years ago. I did wrinkle powdercoat though, and it's beginning to bubble and flake off (I dont think I prepped the cover well enough). Might have to try the wrinkle paint! I used some leftover G2 caliper paint for the lettering, which has held up extremely well.

Another option for paint when doing the letters is nail polish enamel. Its usually cheaper than hobby paint especially when on sale, available at every CVS, Walgreens, Walmart ect. It's also available in FAR more colors. Model car builders do this to replace testors sometimes. Just fill the syringe and use just like the testors.

I advise you bake the VC on low heat to help harden the paint, after a couple years mine started flaking. That's being subjected to living right next to the turbo though 😅

@snudilicious 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheCarPassionChannel Will do. I love the way you in hotter climes can simply leave your VHT crinkle outside to crinkle up. Mine I had to coax using very gentle heat from a heat gun. Satisfying though. I LOVE your channel! I’ve just bought a rust free NA6 1991 V special. I’m going to by a cheap VVt motor from eBay and have a go. If nothing else it will be educational and fun. I don’t intend to force induction though.
