Powdercoating Valve Cover

Powdercoating Valve Cover
Hello EvoM. I was wondering if anyone had any tips of how to properly powder coat a valve cover without the risk of debris getting in the motor?
I have been talking to one person who said they do it and remove the baffles, while sanding/powder coating. Would this be enough?
Thanks!

I've been very pleased with these guys, have done two covers...they know what they are doing. I won't send it to a local shop.

Just don't sand blast it. Use a chemical stripper to remove the old coating. I had mine powder coated and removed the baffles to properly clean it once I got it back. No matter how throughly they wash and rinse it you'll be surprised as to how much blasting material is still left behind inside the baffles.

I have done multiple covers just by running a pressured parts cleaner through the covers and using an air gun to blast anything out. I tape everything off before hand so nothing can get inside the baffles. They have to be extremely clean in the first place as in no oil residue inside it anywhere. I don't use a regular media either. However I wouldn't recommend doing this to anyone else but I have never have had a issue.

Dont over think it
Just pay the extra money to get it professionally painted by someone who has done it before, instead of ruining your engine which would come out way more expensive
