Hi Folks!
just wanted you to know that I have a reliable source for Powdercoating now. I have seen this gentleman's work and he's pretty good.

I am working on expediting some MM Valve Covers to have as "Exchange Cores" so I can eventually offer a Quick Swap so your car doesnt have a lot of downtime!

Anyway, I just thought I would offer this service to all you guys!

Thanks
Wes
 
Wes, ballpark, what would it cost to have valve covers powdercoated? How about coil covers?
 
Hi Ross,
You're looking at around $50 for the Valve Covers, Coil Covers Included.
Add 10 Extra to the Total For Candy Colors.




^^^^^^
EDITED AGAIN

It's about time--was wondering how how the bait hanging out there was gonna get caught--good bite Wes!!!

Although I'm currently reviewing my options, I'm glad to know I've got a place to turn too--and so will you once you've seen them colored---( I've seen Todd's ( TAF) -and you can too in the photo gallery-- when done the way you want --well, they ARE NICE LOOKING!

Why do chrome ?
It adds weight and retains heat.

Can't we get our aluminum covers polished, and have them clearcoated ?

I'm almost 100% sure that the clearcoat won't take the heat. If someone else knows differently, please chime in.

Different strokes for different folks, besides the weight gain and heat gain are both negligible.
 
Could they me polished and ceramic coated? What do you guys think that would look like???

ceramic coated? hmmmm,... I have no idea. If chrome can cause heat problems then I would think that ceramic coating valve covers or an intake would would cause overheating for sure! Think about it; Why do you use ceramic coating on exhaust parts? To retain the exhaust heat, to keep that heat out of the engine bay. You don't want to keep heat in the engine, at least not that much IMO.

you might try this on your valve covers. Note: it says NOT to use on manifolds!

Here's what I'm gonna use for polishing my intake. The only protectant I plan on using is Mother's Aluminum polish.

oh yeah,... Hey Wes...

Would you be able to powder coat a lower intake?

A question about that: The lower intake is very porous. I was thinking about polishing it before I have it powder coated, I think it would look better. Would polishing it effect how the powder coating sticks to it? Do I need to leave the surface somewhat rough (like when you prep a surface to be painted) so it'll adhere?

Thanks!

Ah! I guess I had the functional part of ceramic coating backwards. I thought it absorbed and distributed the heart better....my bad :)

What would be the cost to do Mac & Zack's control arms (4)?

Why is this relevant??? They come powder coated directory from the Zack & Mac factory.

Black powdercoated or uncoated are the only options. Any other color, you're on your own.

Zack said:
....shipped with Gloss Black Powdercoating. For those who do not want Black, we will ship them bare. Pricing does not change and we are not offering custom colors.

I think glassman had the same desires as Petro and I .....red or blue. No big deal, Mac and Zack had to know a select few of us would want different colors.

I'm gonna stick with black for now, but as I detail other items underneath, I will likely re-paint with the Eastwood caliper product.
