Hey, heres some pix of the finished product. It's to bad i was so busy & didn't get a chance to take the pictures of what it used to look like. It was pretty bad. All nasty lookin with the origional coating flaking off to the touch & corosion everywhere. Not to mention the extremly bad burnt oil stains that were on the underside of this thing.
The only thing that i recommend my customers do is clean the underside of the valve cover extremly well before throwing it on. I've done a pretty good job my self of cleaning the under side but you never know what type of gritty crap has hidden up in there.
When you powder coat a candy color it's extremly hard to take good pictures of it since it acts differently in different light & at different angles. But i've tried & here's some of the pix!

Holy crap man...that is freaking incredable!
If you all could have seen this thing before hand...you would not even believe it. As he said...It had the original coating flaking off in areas...looked HORRIBLE. Quite possibly the worse valve cover (cosmetically) I have seen in a long time. Tony freaking hooked that bastard UP! Can't wait to get it on. Will post picks once I get it back on!

looks good.
now i guess ricers have their own colors.
how much you charge? I want mine black with the honda emblem/lettering and the VTEC in yellow.

Anyone else out there want their nasty lookin valve covers / other metal parts taken care of?
