quick question. If I wanted to draw on my valve cover how will I go about that? Just prime and get to drawing? it wont fade off from all the heat? I'll throw a clear coat on top of the drawing once im done of course

i would strip and sand valve cover first. use the high heat rattle can primer from advanced auto. 400 grit valve cover 6 hours later or next day. clean it then draw what you wanted, tack rag it and shoot some clear to protect it.

Re: Official: Post Your Valve Cover (56k warning)
So I just got back my second valve cover and thought i would show it off.
This is the one i will used when i got turbo. Had Aaron@ TSR put the ports in and shave the timing cover back a bit.
The powdercoat is a Silvervein base with Lolipop candy blue over
*** Really like how he welded the bungs from the inside so they don't look all mangled on the outside
The since it was bright out, thought i would take a couple pics of the current cover to showcase the amount of flake it it.

All the work was done by Steve @ The Powdercoat shop.

He has a very good attention to detail and his prices are very hard to beat for the quality of work you get.
