44855, Powdercoating?
Posted by fasterGS, Apr-13-03 06:57 PM
Does anyone have a good place they use for powdercoating? I am looking to get a valve cover done, and I can't find any local places.

I like my place but it can get a little pricey (depending on the color). I have to go there today. Let me know what color and I will get a price for you.

I have been doing it for $80. It's actually a double coat. First a coat of silver and then a coat of blue. I was very pleased with the results.

It is actually almost dead on same color as my AEM intake. Here is a photo of it installed (taken at night).

Hmmm... I want a red or a maroon color. Wanna try to match the car as close as possible.

And does the powdercoating smooth out all the blemishes on the cover? I have a couple of deep scratches that would show up if I painted it. jason2gnt@aol.com if you get a price bud.

LOL, damnit! The goal was to polish it first, but them I realized how long that would actually take. So plans changed.

I found this when I was looking up their 4G63 built engines. I havent sent my valve cover to them yet, but thinking about it.
