Candy Red valve cover on P5

[Sprout]

This was just installed the other day, not on my P5, but I powdercoated it for him, turned out awesome.

That's fantastic! So, where do I sign?

I have one core valve cover right now but its getting CHROME to test out how well our new chrome system handles the heat, this new type of chrome can only handle 180F unlike chrome plating which can handle a lot more. I will be testing it on this valve cover and installing it on my P5 to see how it goes. But if you can send me a valve cover I could do one right away. The valve cover on my P5 is spoken for already as well. I am trying to get more valve cover cores still though.

Wow that looks beautiful. How much would that color cost and with the lettering on the valve cover done in black to stand out?

 

[Sprout]

that valve cover in that color is $60US, with black lettering that gets more difficult if you want the black powdercoated as well, $100 with the lettering.

That pricing is pretty good. I might have to buy a spare cover soon n ship one up to u. I dressed up my engine but after a year and a half my painting of the valve cover is getting a little dirty and I want it done the professional way. (2thumbs) You did a great job on it though.

 

[Sprout]

thanks, let me know when your ready.

Yeah that is bad ass...What does a valve cover cost???

 

[Prodigy]

Thats a nice shade of red.
It makes me second guess whether to paint my valve cover flat black or not..
Do you have any additional pictures?

Here is the pic of the basecoat which is Mirror Chrome

and after the topcoat of Candy Red.
