Where to buy a powder coated Valve Cover
Anyone here know of a web site or place that I can buy a pre powder coated valve cover (with no cracks or holes) for 150.00 or less?
I already checked ebay and dsmtrader.com...no luck and any site I found it was 250.00

Re: Where to buy a powder coated Valve Cover
There is a powder coat kit you can buy now and do it yourself. Find a old stove and your all set, or do like me and my friend did and make one with a 55 gallon drumb running off a propane tank. We had some stainless steel tubing we drilled a bunch of holes in and let it heat the bottom .

Re: Where to buy a powder coated Valve Cover
yes of course you have to control temp, i didnt want to write a book about it so i told him the basics, besides it tells you right in the directions on what temp to bake at, Its very simple to do.
We did a buddies rims also. Took a little while do to only being able to put 1 rim in at a time. |

Re: Where to buy a powder coated Valve Cover
i found a valve cover from a junk yard ($10) and had it powder coated from some company in town for like $50. Call around to see if anyone does it around you and have it done yourself.

Re: Where to buy a powder coated Valve Cover
did I forget to mention that mine has a hole going through it and a crack?...Using mine is not an option. I was just wondering if there was a place that sold them pre powdercoated so I didnt have to mess with it.
