Alright so I've pretty much got all my orders done and its a little slow in the shop so im gonna do another special on powder coating for CA covers since only 1 person took advantage.

My normal rate is $65 Shipped for Cam Covers plus $30 for upper Timing cover.

For you guys it will be $70 Shipped for Cam Covers and Upper Timing Cover a savings of $25.

I do have cores in stock but I have to charge a core charge.

This special will expire on April 14th at 11:59pm. No rain checks etc etc.

Some examples of past work done.

Damnit man you didn't return my email and now I'm back at school where I can't access them to have them sent out. Oh cruel fate! You should run this special again in three weeks.

You stated in the thread you couldn't afford it cause you had machine work to do.

In three weeks FULL PRICE!!!!

You can still place an order and pay the core charge. When you get access to the regular covers send them back and I refund you the core.

How much is core charge? I am getting a DSi and a new steering rack this week, but that is a killer price!

You still have pink?

How is this me saying I can't afford it?

I just checked, I never said I couldn't do it in my thread. My response was in regards to you having cores, which would have been nice to know a while back so I could have done it with no down time on my car.

My engine is effed, but that means I have no hurry so you can take your time with the valve covers. No need to abide by my initially tight schedule.

Check your email man, and get back to me. Will ya?

As for the pink looks like its discontinued. It was called Barbie Pink. Here are a few other pinks.









This is Barbie pink with Fluorescent Pearl this is $20 extra, this is like liquid gold.



Barbie pink with a light metallic flake.

The way you worded it made it seem like you're too poor and the money you were gonna use for the powder coating was going to the block.

I even added a you disappointed bongo pic and you laughed.

Send me another email I dont have the original one you sent.

The brand I use is Columbia Coatings.

If you like I can recommend you a powder coater in Australia. He does Top Notch work, does a lot of nissans. I dont know what his prices are.

$70 for the covers and $30 for each brake caliper.

I have a dormant blue which is that dark blue cover, and candy blue which is that ca cover blue with the sparkles. The sparkles I added on.
