I would just opt to powder coat them. I had mine done for $60 for both covers and they came out great! Powdercoat is a lot more durable than the paint and with the time it takes to swap the valve covers, I would rather pay the $60 for the durability.

Here's who did mine.

Thanks Eric. I'm sure you can find someone local that can do it for a similar price. That is what I would look for so it doesn't cost you shipping.

I just used these guys because they are local to me. They did a great job and I would easily use them again though.

the shop that i do all my work at the owner loves VHT wrinkle black! he uses it quite often seems like there is a little bit of a science behind using it and stuff, but the stuff hes used it on looks awsome! id say go for it

this.

methinks painting parts in the engine bay where youll have tools dinging them and chipping them is a dumb idea. Powdercoating lasts longer and is far more durable than a sprayed on paint coating.

i agree with you guys 100% that powdercoating is much better... the more i think about it, i will probly go that route. i thought it might be easier to just paint them but ehhh screw it i dont really care to EVER do it again, so might as well do it right

I used it on my old intake and it came out amazing! I would do it again on my valve covers if i ever take them off, The pics don't do it justice either, it looks much better in person but here are a couple pics to see...

If you want top notch powder coating done, come up to Trail Performance in Omaha. I have had tons of stuff done there and its all been top shelf work. The guys are great. Its off of 72nd and Hwy 370. Very reasonable on prices too.
