screw driver with a sand pad for those hard to reach places. for the primer thats hard to sand smooth, are you wet sanding? that might help. looking good tho. your making me want to try this project out.
they make a sanding pen that could help. are you letting it dry to the fullest before you start sanding?

no i didnt let it dry all the way so i think i am going to use paint thinner or denatured alcohol to strip ot of primer and then start again cause it looked fine before i started to sand it i will probably paint tommorow

i know you guys like the painted screws..
high temp aluminum duplicolor for valve cover bolts and for spark plug cover screws i used duplicolor chrome paint

valve cover feels like it is going to take forever which sucks cuz i have a custom valve cover being made for me as we speak so i may sell it once it is finished and i am using ZOOP on it so it doesnt get messed up for 1 year or so ...

yea, i know, when you do these 'projects', you tend to want it done right away, but it takes time. try to find a sanding pen for those hard to reach places, it should help. looking good tho.this is one 'mod' where you for sure cant drive your max until its done, imo, i say just take your time if you can. dont rush, it will come out looking nice. later

i know i did f it up i didnt wet sand and nw its rteally bad i tried again today and f**ked it up worse i may need a new cover unless someone here knows how to strip that stuff off i tried paint thinner didnt work too well

s0ber

just sand down the sparkplug cover until its smooth and paint it, dry sand that... you can sand that off its not a big deal ... start wet sanding the valve cover tho and sand in one direction, try not to sand up and down, but side to side..

ok well heres the problem how do i sand in between the letters?? cuz now there is clumps of primer there and its a complete mess really really bad mess i made of it today....i mean its terrible i am going to try to sand it completely down again its gonna take me a long time but what do i do about the latters the small and the large all have clumped up primer??

and this may sound really bad but how is the best way to wet sand???

Wow ... I haven't seen a Max that clean since i picked mine up at the dealership

not sure, use a flathead and scrape off the primer or something on there.. lol

or if u have a small filer will work too.. you'll figure something out...

and for the valve cover, best way to wet sand it, just... wet teh sand paper and go at it, might help to do it outside and just have the hose next to u and spray it down so it doesnt dry up

RHIT RDX

Instead of using paint thinner, try paint remover; it's much harsher. Try to keep the primer soaked for a few minutes; then a bit of rubbing should take it right off. A small regular screwdriver with a soaked rag stretched around the end should be able to get the primer between the letters.

thanks a lot guys i will get to this tommorow as for the wet sanding i just have to sand with wet sand paper

yea, get a spray bottle( best) and just spray every now and then, its so the sand paper doesnt get hot and clump up the primer cause of it, thats your problem. it will work out, keep wet sanding and let dry too.
