If I ever get my valve cover(s) powdercoated or painted, it's going to be neon pink. Why? Because **** everyone else, that's why

How much would you be charging for this kind of thing? Can you work out a price breakdown for B- and D- series valve covers so we have something to guage?

if i supply the valve cover and gasket kit 140-shipped
for the valve cover alone no kit 120-shipped
both are for B-series

if you do a trade in valve cover its
75 shipped but the valve cover cant be cut or dented

if you just send me yours to be painted its 65 shipped back

85 shipped on the Dseries with gasket kit
75 shipped without

65 with trade in
50 if you send me your to be painted

it works better for the bseries people to do the trade


if you think the prices are high consider the paint for one pint costs me around 30 dollars. this doesnt include the clear! personaly i think its a cheeper alternative to powercoating wich ranges from 100+ depending on applacation. and you can pretty much choose any color that PPG makes and the shippings included.

It's hard to describe, but I would think it'd be pretty cool to have my valve cover like a light blue-mixed with silver crinkle type of paint job, think you could do that?
It's just one of my many ideas on colors

that would probably be pretty tough .. i could do a light blue like the s2k suzika blue with a sliver pearl.. that might look hot
