I thought I read a thread on this before but can't seem to find it now...is there anything I need to do in particular before getting it coated or after for that matter? Any questions I should ask the company before doing it? Thanks for your help!

 

choose a color and trust you chose a powder coater that knows what they're doing. a question you could ask for turn around time is to see if they do the sand blasting in house or send it to another shop.

 

Aren't there different types of Powder such as high temp etc? What if the coating gets on the underside of the cover? Will that affect anything? What all needs to be done to prep it before coating? Really wish I could find that previous thread on here...already went through 10 pages searching haha!

 

you can actually powder coat by ur self if u know how to remove the parts
its easy just buy the paint and bake at open @ 350 degree for 45min

i just bought a used Aluminum Cover and Polished

 

Looks like my engine bay w/ a better looking valve cover! hahha! What BOV and catch can is that? I've read up on how to take it off etc...what type of paint? I'm guessing its not just rattle canned and tossed in the oven

 

Its Greddy Type S bov and catch can brand is Simota can with side view screen
The best can ( for me)

The paint brand is VHP I thing from Auto Zone not regular paint can..

 

just make sure the powder coating guy doesn't powder coat the seating area where the gasket goes.

 

Just paint it, powder coating is over rated
