Painted valve covers & tinted lights

[Pardue]

Over the past couple of weekends I have been kind of bored so I completed a few projects on the Mustang. I painted the valve covers along with tinting all of the rear lights. I also added a polished GT power plug so I snapped a few quick pics. I hope you like them.

Yeah it's just hi temp spray paint. I sanded them down really well with 300 grit and then cleaned them a few times just to be safe. Then I used hi temp primer, paint and clear. Hopefully they stay looking decent.

I might try this.. Did you cover the cams while you're doing this?

You will see me there, I don't know if I will be in the car you see in the sig or I'm thinking of jumping ships to the 5.0, I just don't like the idea of losing my ass of on the trade in.

Yeah I covered them up with some new shop rags for the entire day while I was painting the covers in my shed. I just wanted to make sure no dust/dirt or anything got inside the heads while they were exposed.

I'm sure he just took the valve covers off, I doubt he pulled the heads to paint them

Exactly and just covered the exposed areas to keep them clean while the covers were off.

Looks great! Any tips for saving the gaskets when you take them off? Pretty sure I'll paint mine when I do cams.

Thanks! The gaskets are easy to reuse, just put some RTV back where it goes and that is it.
