Since we have got a new powder coating machine at the shop we are offering a special to all 2gNT members on getting their valve covers powder coated. We will powder coat your valve cover for $40 + shipping. We can do any color though exotic choices may take a little longer. If you are interested in getting anything else powder coated give us a call.

If you are interested please give us a call or email us. (713)-984-9140 or fastparts@advancedracingdynamics.com. Feel free to IM me (thxturtle) or email me (thxturtle@quietrage.com) as well.

"I DON'T RAG MY CAR"

put up a link to what colors you have and some finished products... i want chrome or very close to chrome looking

hey any pics... cause i need to get some stuff done... exaust mani, turbo and some other parts

powder coating will not be good for turbos or exhaust manifolds, powder coating liquidizes at 400* it WILL NOT stick to exhuast mani running 1000*+ just wont happen....

anything else other then those parts is good to go...

will y'all powdercoat my ford's valve cover :) I used to be 2gnt :)

Not trying to ruin this post, but I just paid $35 to get my valve cover powder coated at a local shop.

there are special powers you can use... it's done all the time.. i would just get it done by jeff hill but his guy closed shop and moved down south, so he has no one right now.... He use to coat the turbo and exaust mani all the time and they last with no problem..

I had all my stuff HPC coated and that holds well to heat. Though after 6 months the exhaust mani is showing some small cracks and it did change from the high shine color the pipes and VC have, to a matte grey color, but still better than the cast redish brown look...:D

Can you explain "exotic choices"?

Can you explain "exotic choices"?

i don't see that stated above..... is in ref. to special powders. I found a site that will sell you powders and the whole system so you can do the powdercoating yourself. But you have to buy the oven, and that's what costs so much and you need a place to put it.... wish i had it cause i'd buy one and start powdercoating myself

No, the sandblasting booth/cabinet is the expensive part. Ovens are cheap.

Exotic colors would be anything that isn't a basic color - red, blue, white, black, yellow, green. Things like gunmetal, multiple colors, fushia, muave, those other chick colors, neon pink, whatever, would be considered exotic.

is avenger going to respond to this thread or emails?:wary

I can answer any of your questions. Thura works for ARD about like I do - which is to say not. We're both friends of the shop, and we can speak for them in deals like this that they offer to this community.

If you have specific questions about colors, call ARD. The phone number is in Thura's (Avenger) sig.

What about intake manifolds? Can these be coated?

yeah easly cause they don't get hot.....

where are you located at and what is the turn around like?

Intake manifolds can be done. Call ARD for pricing and color availability.

ARD is located in Houston, TX. Turnaround for a valvecover in a single color (they have red, black, yellow, and white in stock, and maybe blue to.) should be about a week, depending on if the valvecover has been painted before. The more paint on it, the harder it is to sandblast clean.

do they shave the letters or do we have to do that.

No. If you want the letters shaved off, do it before you send it.

You don't have to shave off the letters to powdercoat it..

I think he meant do they remove the powerder coat from the letters and buff them :)

Maybe if you ask them to. Of course, it's nothing that 5 minutes and a sanding block can't do.

So.. take advantage of it, while all of us that hang out at ARD still get our kicks from the sandblaster. :-)

If you ask nicely, i'll even do some of the work, because sandblasting kicks ass. :-P

I was watching a show on TNN called "trucks" (yeah I know, but you still get good ideas and they do cool stuff)....they were media blasting an old body for painting...it looked awesome!

Here you go, guys! It took me 3 weeks but it looks DAMN good. This is kinda custom. You can get it in one color. Give them a call.
