    Default Powder-coated Valve Cover

    Just picked it up. I am really happy with the job they did. They masked off all the bolt holes and hose fittings. There is a slight texture to it - I didn't want a glossy red. Off to install it!

    Noice! How much? When did you take it in? I like that red, not quite like the MSM, like I want. But it looks good.

    Where did you have it done, and how much did you pay? I've got to replace my cam cover gasket, and I've been wanting to powdercoat mine a textured black. Might as well have it powdercoated while I'm replacing the gasket, since I'm lazy and don't want to do it twice.

    I took it to www.topkoat.com , right down the street from Mazda-Nissan Heaven in Mansfield. He charged me $100 (cash) out the door. I dropped it off last Thursday or Friday and it was ready today. He told me 5 working days at the most. Here it is in the car.

    kinda off subject but, last week I saw a LandCruiser (FJ40) painted red with what looked like Rhrino Guard, a rough texter, but it looked cool and very rugged.

    I think it looks great too, I am planning on doing mine eventually, but to match my crazy wheels.
    On the 99's it was a rough texture, does that affect things? should it be sanded down to paint?....I am planning on doing the intake as well, also like that TCB price Kaggs got on his.

    I actually talked to that guy. He used the do-it-yourself stuff (Hercules?) and it is about 3 years old. He says it has stayed on with no problems.

    Sammm - that color is not a factory option. Looks like you're in CSP now
