not sure if this is TECH or not?


but usually how much does it cost to chrome plate a B series valve cover?

(I know its RICE... but its for my track toy)

 

Why not just polish it?

 

Or go on eBay and get one of those chrome OBX valve covers.

 

the polished dont have the shiny look.


and im not going on EBAY... cuz i have a fucked paint valve cover that i want to put on the motor.

one is nice and black.... the other is black/grey/flaked up paint

 

depends on the chromer most of them lik $40.00 -$50.00

 

go to walmart and buy some aircraft remover in the automotive paint section. strip the paint. youll probably like the finish. If not, them go back and by some high temp paint, pick a color, and paint that bitch. Dont chrome it though, that would be whack.

 

i polished mine and it looks pretty damn shiny... as in u can see urself in it... i wouldnt chrome it as chrome is just a coating that can chip off

 

depends on how good the chromer is. and If you polish it and you are running high boost It dosent look pretty. TRUST ME
