Alright guys I just got approved today by the admin team to be a Nico Vendor.

Since I have a CA and I mostly spend my time on here I'll run a monthly special for CA covers. For this month I'll do $45 Shipped on single stages for the rocker covers, and $65 Shipped for rocker covers and timing cover.

at the moment im out of cores, I did purchase a set of covers just waiting on them to arrive. However I would have to charge $50 Core charge if you dont source them.

Yup thats how core charges work. You pay the charge up front and when you return the item you get the money back.

When you go to Parts stores they do the same like for calipers.

That is the hotness. I can't wait to see the colors. I have an extra set of valve covers, but not the timing cover. Haveyou set up a website or are you doing correspondence via email or something?

I have accounts with 2 powder manufactures so I can pretty much suit your color needs. I have about 20 colors in stock but I can easily order a color for you if I dont have it.

http://store.columbiacoatings....=AAPD

thats who I mostly deal with as they are close and are reliable.

At the moment I dont have a website but am in the process of making one. I will be doing 2 CA covers this week 1 for me and for another member on here. So I'll definatly post those when I coat them.

This price, $45, is that a limited time offer? or is that what you will continue to charge?

Yes the special will run till June 10th and that price is for single stages. After June 10th the price will go back to $65 Shipped.

Later on in the year I'll run specials again.

Interested in this for my S14 SR VC.

Do you do any prep work to it, or are we supposed to clean it up?

I dont remember all the colors off the top of my head.

Single stage colors are usually Mirror colors, Textured, Flat. Multiple stages are fancy stuff like clears, candy, translucent, emerald.

Heres the company I order my powders from. If I dont have a color in stock I can order it.

Price for Timing and Valve Covers is $60 Shipped, 45 Shipped for Valve Covers.

At the moment I cant do anodizing but definatly would LOVE to. Later down the road I may start offering it. I do a lot of paintball so it would be a good investment to start doing it.
