]2eDeYe Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 My buddies did this one for Frank. It's really hard to capture the color and metal flake in a pic. It glints in real life :D BTW, It's powder coat also. 1 Quote Link to comment

I need to decide how I want to have my valve covers on the VH done. Also wouldn't mind having the intake done as well. Could do it myself but I don't have a large enough oven. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Dude that is gorgeous! I need to decide how I want to have my valve covers on the VH done. Also wouldn't mind having the intake done as well. Could do it myself but I don't have a large enough oven. The pics do no justice to the pop and glint. You could try some heat lamps on the bigger stuff. Could you hook me up with a deal with your buddies i would be interested in powder coating my valve cover. Since i started this thread? But seriously Give them a call or swing by their shop. Let them know I sent you and that your from ratsun. :) Quote Link to comment

d510addict Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 What type of paint are you using on the alum? Seems like most stuff wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 What type of paint are you using on the alum? Seems like most stuff wouldn't work. I use rattle can primer and some good rattle can paint (krylon ect) Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Stopped into my buddies place to pick up some of my KA mounts that they powdercoated for me. They had this one on display. All powdercoat. :) Dillon's rusty dime was in there getting some exhaust fuckery done on the new powerplant. Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Mine used to be black with polished letters Then tried silver with blue letters But decided I was going to something else: Bead blasted with polished letters, needs to be redone with some sort of clear coat, oil seepage and vapors stain the unfinished metal and makes it look nasty.

Hardwyre Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Semi gloss clear powdercoat might work, or just a semigloss spray coat. Though a gloss clear would probably work just as well. Quote Link to comment
