Type R Rocker Cover Restoration ( OEM Wrinkle )

Yes you seen correctly this week i am restoring one of the most iconic rocker covers out there the Honda Civic Type R B16 rocker / cam / valve cover... Let the fun begin! LINKS TO THE PRODUCTS USED BELOW. Now with this restoration i could have went over the top and smoothed it all out and painted it a wild colour but instead i decided to get as close as i could to the stock finish as i possibly could ( carbon plug cover excluded ) so anyone interested in a lesson / tutorial on how to use wrinkle paint to achieve a factory look and not be left with a loosely wrinkled mess should give this video a watch. First things first lets get in unboxed in my usual style with box cutter cam. ( Yes that is a Subaru Impreza EJ20 engine in the background click subscribe to be notified when that video comes out ;) ) As you can see the paint or whats left of the paint is ruined and flaking off and the exposed aluminum alloy has begun to corrode over time also the underside has the usual oil and carbon staining from years
