4A-GE White Top

Well this is just step one into making a clean engine bay. What better way to do this then to do the 4AGE White Top Swap.

Ingredients:
1 Can HiTemp White Glossy Spray Paint
1 Can Engine Brite
Several wire brushes
Pnuematic Angle Grinder, with Sanding, and Polishing Discs

When doing this conversion. Lay three coats first with 10 minutes between coats. Let stand for 5 days. Sand the lettering, the faster the sander the more of a polished look. Wash... Mask off the lettering, to fix any slips, and lay a couple more coats. I used play-dough instead of tape. Let sit for a day and install, let the engine finish curing the paint.

4AGE White Top!!! ***kin Classy!
First 3 Coats:



Sanding + 2 more coats = Sexy White Top Valve Covers:



And the money shot...
