Alright guys I got approval to start offering Powder Coating services to you guys.

To give you a little background, I do powder coating on the side for fun. I do the painting out of my buddys garage. I've been coating since October so Im still new at this but pretty much have the hang of it.

To give you a run down of my prices for valve covers I usually charge a $15 per cylinder fee so 4 clynders are $65 Shipped. But the more cylinders the cheaper it will be. These prices are usually for Single Stages, Multiple stages are $10 extra which require a Base Coat and Top Coats.

Im very flexible on prices so if your on a tight budget I can work with you to try and get you covered.

I do offer warranties on the coatings which is 60days.

Because I do this for fun/side I only powdercoat on certain days, which are Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I try to get them done as soon as I can but since I work at another job I may sometimes be called in. But I'll try to get everything done in a timely manner usually within the week of arrival.

Just a few examples that I've done in the past.

These are single stages, they vary from wrinkle, to mirror gloss, flats, etc etc.































These are considered Multiple Stages.

I'm no whiz when it comes to painting, especially powder coating. But IIRC, it has to be a metal object, correct?

I would like to get my engine cover painted, but it's plastic... So is this something that can be powdercoated?

If not the plastic, what about the top half of a plenum? It's aluminum...

Yea it has to metal, there is research on having a low temp powder to do plastic but not available yet.

For the plenum if it fits your standard kitchen oven than I can coat it.

Glad you liked it man. I was very happy because the cover was in bad shape and when it came out so nice I was actually quite shocked.

Depends on the motor. If its for a SOHC or s13 DOHC than for an extra $15 I can purchase one for you. But if its like SR, RB, S14 DOHC than you'll have to send it in.

I can do a blue wrinkle. Are you looking for a dark blue, light blue?

$30 but the TB has to be disassembled. If I remember correctly the TB has a plastic bearing that will melt when baking.

Closest I can get to that color is this.



As for price its $45 Shipped plus $10 to order the wrinkle blue. So $55 Shipped.

My friend asked me to make something on the wild side. I had a hard time coming up with a scheme. So I figured trying a 2tone.

I must say this cover was the MOST pain in the ***, I've never been so frustrated on a cover like this one. Overall Im happy with the concept its not perfect but overall Im pleased. The masking on this was ridiculous I think im gonna use painters tape next time instead of this crappy powder coaters tape.













This is a cover I did for a friend as well. I was having such a bad day with applying multiple coats so I had to shoot the pink when the cover was hot. This poses a problem of the powder hardening before I can wipe off the letters.

You should see it in person, the sparkle is ridiculous. I did like 2 coats of the clear coat with sparkles. Its ridiculous my friend is extremly happy.

However I dont think I'd want to do it again. I've never been so agitated coating a cover like I was with this cover.
