Default Digital Snow Camo Dipped Valve Cover::

Just thought I would share this with you guy's , My buddy has a business dipping pretty much anything, he does great work if any of you are interested in getting anything dipped. It stands up to heat very well.

if they did it the same way as ive seen before, they have a tank of some liquid, maybe water. then they have a film that floats on top of the water and then you place the part on top of the film so that it sticks to the surface of the part and then they take it out and the film is transferred to the part.

edit: skip to 1:50 to see the actual process.

$ 120 for pretty much any valve cover, He has thousands of patterns ( not only camo ) you can also get solid colors with high gloss, the camo valve covers I have posted are semi flat
