96597, Powdercoated VC from TRG
Posted by cs82685, Sep-22-06 01:48 PM
Well here it is, a pic of my freshly powdercoated valve cover. Got it done from trgcoating.com It's so shiny.



They do good work, I was very happy with the way it came out and it was cheap too, but mostly because they are 5 minutes away so there were no shipping charges either way.

here's a before for comparison:

45 + another 20 for the clear coat. I think it was well worth it.

i forgot i had that, he sent me a picture of the color i wanted, which was candy blue, thats what it looks like, but in person, it looks like a lot deeper and darker blue, its so sexy tho, i cant wait to put it on. i paid 140 for it, but ill get my 60 back when i ship my old one back, so it was like 65 plus 15 for shipping, or 70 plus 10, i forget

Lol, thats my photoshop. He had that same pic in red and everyone wanted to see what it would look like in blue. So i just took his red one into photoshop and adjusted the colors to blue. lmao.

Looks really nice but the rest of your bay looks like ...stuff.

Looks like you need some new hose on the coolant line in front of your engine as well. :)
