Who here has powdercoated valve covers? I know of a few but who else? When I got to paint my car I'm gonna powder coat my valve cover but I'm not sure what colour to go with. Going with red would be nice if the exterior colour is a lighter tone (ie. my white) But if I do a darker exterior what would look better when the hood is lifted? It's not like i'm doing this this week (more like the next two months) so I have time to decide and check your opinions.
Thanks! --------------------  CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

this is IMAO but i would never do powdercoating on valve covers this is why you have to sand blast or fine bead blast the surface to do rough it so the powder has something to stick to if any of that gets into under it in the cover and you out it on and run it and the sand gets in your motor stay bye bye to it over ways paint them while on the car or off just always have to be careful
mine were wrenkal painted never fade of pill and its textured the covers the intake and few other little things were done this way and it comes in almost any basic color 
-------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
