Has anyone done this on the 4.0? I really would like to do this and I have the write up some guy did on here but it was on a GT. I was just wondering if its the same or different, because I noticed that are heads are painted black and the GT's are not painted.

correct me if im wrong but people usually don't paint the heads; they paint the valve covers. and on our cars the valve covers are plastic =[

I'm so sorry you are correct. I meant the valve covers...NOT the heads.

the plastic valve covers can be painted. you just have to do some plastic prep. ie. scuffing , adheasion promotor, plastic stick. anyway it would be cool to see someone do it maybe my self when i get a chance.

Thanks for your help guys. I'm going to see if i can get around to it this week. Just if you have any more info on how to prep plastic that would be great.

I'LL SEE YOU AT KNOTT'S PHUNNYGUY LOL! I'm going sunday as well. Are you bringing your car by chance?

i wonder if lightly sanding the plastic can give it a smoother, more "non-plastic" valve cover look while providing a nice surface for primer/paint to stick to...

i might give this a go over summer if you guys come up with something .

i'll also be on the lookout at fab. fords [8D]
