so you just painted the valve cover... did u need to sand it or prime it with anything to get it to accept the paint?

I sprayed the stock valve cover with some paint stripper then i sanded it down with some i think 200 grit then 400 grit. Washed it, dried it, then masked off some parts of it and painted it with VHT wrinkle paint.

I used this method before and i also tried using primer first then vht wrinkle paint but there were no diffirences. so far i have painted 4 valve covers total.
