RE: [Chevelle-list] valve covers
Title: Message Assuming you blast them clean, just paint it as you would any other metal. Use a primer, then the paint. They do get hot, and might discolor over time, but maybe not. I had painted (powdercoated?) covers that discolored from dirt and grime. When I painted my car, they stripped them and tried to paint them body color, but there was chrome under the color I had, so they stopped. Chrome can't be painted over well (does not stick) so you need to blast it all.

RE: [Chevelle-list] First time to USA
Hi André! Welcome to the Sunshine State! What part are you visiting? If you are going to be in North Florida (fat chance, I know) I'd love a chance to meet you while you are here. Governor Bush (yes, President Bush's brother) asked me to remind you to spend a lot of money while you are here. We don't have a state income tax and all those tourist dollars help us keep it that way! There are areas in Florida, as there are anywhere else, you should avoid. Generally speaking the "tourist areas" in Central Florida are as safe as your bedroom... unless you happen to live in a war zone then they are much safer! Stay alert, don't flash a lot of money around, and if you do find yourself in an uncomfortable situation don't hesitate to grab a policeman. The vast majority of them are super good folks and are used to dealing with tourists. Matter of fact they are good sources of information about areas you should avoid. Enjoy your visit and above all... Have Fun! -= Gunner =- -= Jacksonville FL =- -= www.tail-gunner.net =- ---Original Message--- From: The Chevelle Mailing List Date: 03/11/04 17:42:12 To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] First time to USA guys and girls, Tuesday morning early Ill leave Bologna and go to Florida for a two week holiday.

Re: [Chevelle-list] valve covers
Metal or aluminum? I've painted engine parts with Krylon or other rattlecan paint and put them in the oven to cure for a few hours at low temps (200 degrees or so). They still look good,years later. If an engine gets hot enough to burn the paint off,you are going to have bigger problems than that to worry about.
