So I got done doing Eomunds valve cover, he went with a Super Mirror Black. I like Super Mirror Black but I hate how it SHOWS every imperfection, just like it would on a normal painted car. Sadly powdercoated isnt invincible to Orange Peel. Anyways Eomund is pleased and Im happy as well. Heres some pics

I used Aircraft remover to strip the paint. My sandblaster was causing problems. After that I ran it through a wire wheel brush.

After that I sprayed some Acetone to clean it. It cant be a Petroleum a base or else it causes problems.

I charge $65 shipped for 4 cylinder Valve Covers. Is your motor S13 or S14 KA? I have a S13 cover in stock.

S13 KA. I wouldn't need it anytime soon, as I have to rebuild my motor first. You got an e-mail I can reach you at for when I could order one from you?

Pretty much whatever color you want.

I have a account with http://www.nicindustries.com so I have a selection of 6500 powders to pick from.

Just make note if its a special color I have to charge $10 to order the color you want if I dont carry it.

Here's his Fabricators Market thread on valve covers.

But if you just need a normal/stock one, there's a Want To Buy section in the Classifieds.
