Default Powder Coated Valve Covers.. Check it out!

Hey fellas,

A local guy does powdercoating for a great price for me. I then take the VC's and remove the color from the text and spark plug holes. It looks great and I'd be willing to do it for anyone who needs a good valve cover coating.

It is great work. I'll post some pics in a bit when I can find a good site to host this work. It is second to none.

Post up if you need some VC work. I can hook ya up.

-Nick-

Edit: Sorry for the poor pic. Im getting ready to go out of town and dont have time to get a good digi camera. Web cam will have to suffice for now!

Still working on pics, but pricing is likely to be at aroundd $50 per valve cover. This price ONLY covers the cost of materials and what the guy charges me. I dont really make anything at that price.

I'll keep it at that price so everyone can decide if the work is good and up to their standards.

Here is a list of all the colors that can be made. I have to order each color per request, so turnaround time is a bit longer than if I had all the colors already.

Thanks guys, and let me know what you think of the price!

not necessarily true. My valvecover was stripped with aircraft stripper, coated then properly cured and it came out quite shiney. They can also be wet sanded with 400grit sandpaper. Once I get a good camera ill post up the pics.

Here is mine done by the same guy, but i have not taken the paint off the letters or anything yet cuz i'm still afraid to mess it up! Mine is more captiva blue, but not a perfect match.
