I have my valve covers and intake manifold ready to paint, question is, do I put down a base coat of primer or go ahead and put two coats of paint on them?
That’s what I was thinking, it’s not like an exhaust manifold which gets super hot. thank youI've always just painted intakes and valve covers without primer and it seems to hold up.
I’ve still got some chat black from when I did my intake and exhaust manifolds on my 72 Dart. Maybe have enough for just the intake manifold on this one. Wouldn’t hurt!I used vht high temp rust converter first, sprayed over bare metal and rust I hit with a wire wheel.
2 years ago engine still looks new.
