    Powdercoated valve covers

    Anybody want one of these?? I have a few left that need to be finished and am willing to put in the time if anyone wants one done up. I sand blast these myself, and have them powdercoated, then sand off the coating on the ribs and lettering to reveal the aluminum. These look great installed and when paired with a new gasket (after that much needed valve adjustment that you've been putting off), will stop those annoying oil puddles on your garage/carport floor.

    I will do these on request only and when payment received. It will take a few days to get them ready so be patient.

    $100 shipped CONUS.

      Unfortunately, colors are very limited and I will have to get with my paint guy to find out what he might have available. At one time he had some red, but no one ever wanted them in red.

      What color are you wanting?

        Oh I see.
        Any wacky color to be honest. Though, red is totally fine.
        Let me know, I'm sure others will be interested as well and even more interested if you offer colors!

              This guy's business is painting stuff black, but colors are available. Thing is unless it's some samples he has in stock, then he would have to order a minimum quantity of a given color and wouldn't ever use it again. Therefore, I would have to find out pricing on "special" colors, but it would be cheaper for sure if several peeps were down for the same color. IF you sent me your cover, I'd knock off $20. I'd still have to ship it back and I can't recall right now what it was costing me to ship it's been so long.

              For the record, I'm pretty sure pink is not gonna happen. lol.

              I will call him Monday to find out what he might have available.

                  That is nice...I'm wondering......, and have done a few with crinkle black and polished fins and lettering. Could you have one powder coated in anodized blue with the polished lettering?

                    I'll check Monday to see what he has, what he can get, and additional costs for other colors. Stay tuned....

                          Well Mr.
                          Know that I'm interested in a red one and hopefully others as well.

                            Spoke with the painter today, he can do RED, YELLOW, PURPLE, and a DARK PINK. I don't have any samples for you unfortunately. I don't know if he has anything there either. The pink is the only one I would not be sure about, the others are pretty straightforward. It will cost me an additional $20 for the colors, but I will eat that cost if anyone wants a cover done and will keep the price listed at $100 shipped CONUS.
