Default powder coating valve covers
I want to get my valve cover powder coated and for those that have them, is it bad for the engine to coat the inside of the valve cover or have overspray on the inside?

Do not coat the inside, but a little overspray isn't a big deal.

Would I be better off telling the shop to mask off the inside? I know they will charge me more to take the time to do that since they usually only plug the holes with threads.

Depends on how they coat it. If they hang the valve cover, yes. If they have it sitting down on a grate of some kind, no.
