Okay, here we go. As I already mentioned, the end result isn't completely great cause I made some mistakes along the way, one of them being doing this in a stuffy shed. I really need to make some sortof paint booth where I can have things dry safely..
So I got these red painted valve covers from Robokill. Now this paint that was on there was made to last!! Sandblasting with my little DIY sandblasting equipment was tidious to say the least. Eventually I did resort to messy tools and first got most of the paint of with a wirewheel and then sandblasted it. The nice thing about sandblasting is that it gives you a nice finish that is a little rough, perfect for spraying, but also perfect preparation to just polish it after you sandblast. It doesn't scare the surface like a heavy duty wirewheel does. This is also the reason I used a more gently wirewheel on a drill that doesn't scratch the metal as much.
