For a while I have envisioned powder coated the valve covers with a fine texture red. Superloki had a spare set of valve covers that he loaned to me so I can get it done. Started off sandblasting the surface then glass beading to get a smooth finish. Then they were brought to the powder coated amd they taped everything off and layed the powder, and they turned out perfectly!
Finially I was able to install them and this is how they turned out

Powdercoat is the way to go! I painted mine - couldn't afford the downtime for powdercoating when I had my covers off...wish I had.

Threadjack!: where are all you guys on the facebook? I'm not on now, but may make a profile just to follow xr stuff, this site seems to be getting slow lately.
