I finally got my oven today, for my powder coating kit. I will be posting up pics of stuff I've done.

I didnt get much time today to powder coat. Only thing I did was a pipe that I had leftovers from intercooler piping. I just sprayed the sucker and threw it in the oven. However if I do some of your guys parts obviously I will prep them and clean them.

heres the pipe I did, I bought crappy powder to test stuff out and get a feel for powder coating and experimenting times.

Sorry for the horrible pic quality, all I had was Razr camera which sucks but I wanted to show ya guys. I will get clearer pics tomorrow and possibly pics of my intercooler piping.

Awesome, just tell me where to send those valve covers. The earliest I will be able to get them out is Wednesday because I am doing a little tuning and dealing with the megasquirt Tuesday. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to re-flash the unit again because it absolutely refuses to let me mess with the fuel settings. God my valve covers are going to look ridiculously sweet.
