Just wanted to share with everyone, my first attempt at power coating my evo 8 valve cover, it's a dark grey color, looks really nice in person & you can't beat a home made job!!... ahaha, crappy phone picture doesn't do justice!

Let me know what you guys think...

 

Let me know what you guys think...

Sick power coating is great..


How much better is power coating then powder?

Also whats a Value Cover?

 

opps.... i typed to fast and didn't even realize my spelling errors, my bad fellas!

I meant to say "Powder Coating"

 

that looks pretty legit considering you do it at ur home man. How long was the process, Im thinking about doing mine in purple.

 

Well I kinda just played around with the prep work, but honestly I would say a total of 2-3 hours, stripping the paint, high pressure wash & blasting the remaining paint off, then prep for coating, baking takes about 10 minutes, then let it cool down and put it back on!

Let me know!

 

looks good me like

 

Thank you sir!

 

Either way looks really good. What did you use? i know the process but did you use your own oven or another?

 

Yeap, I have an oven in my shop, which I only use for baking powder coated items in.

 

If any of you guys would be interested in getting anything power coated, shoot me a pm. (brackets, rims, i/c piping, ect)

If I can gain interest in the service, I will talk to the admins on becoming a supporting vendor of the forums. Let me know fellas!

It would be very affordable to do, and a quick turn around time!

 

looks good. im looking into getting a powder coating set up this summer

 

you didn't mask off the oil cap mating surface and I assume the spark plug holes...no bueno

 

It's all up to if you wanted to mask it off or not, no damage done if you didn't, matter of fact if you look at the factory painted valve cover, it has over spray in the spark plug holes, and oil cap surface, the most import part was to plug the screw holes, which in that case I did. You don't want to fill those holes in with powder, because then you are sh*t out of luck, while trying to reinstall.

Thanks.

 

Great Job dude

 

Thank you sir!
