Re: Powder results

That valve cover looked good tonight, nice work! Hit the letters with some sandpaper, cover it all in a clear gloss, and you sir will have some professional looking products!

But I love how the powder hides my shitty welds though.

So that's what type of dude you are... I knew you were bad to hang around!

those colors are good, and the welds are AWFUL!!!!!!! OHHHHHHHhhh!!!!1

Re: Powder results

Hey I have an extra Valve cover.... PM me the price you coat it for me. The funny thing is I live in Cleveland. And I like it in Teal or an off blue.

Re: Powder results

I'd take a black one. The red on mine is coming off, and I can't really say I like it anymore.

Re: Powder results

Maybe once I get better, I can talk with Allan about putting this up in the members offered services. But right now I'm not trying to like take a bunch of orders from people. I'm still learning you know. I'd like to get a little better. But if you're looking for a black valve cover, I already did the one that i put a pic up of if you're wanting one. I'm probably going to do another one in that orange color for my car, so I won't need that one anymore.

Re: Powder results

Just give me a shout when you feel ready to do orders. I changed my mind on that blue. I think Wrinkle blue or something like that. Eh...like I said take your time man.

Re: Powder results

Picture of another valve cover I just did. I did it in Marblehead Silver at first. It had sort of a cement type texture to it. Kinda cool, but I wanted to play some more. So here is the end result. The letters are still the marblehead silver, but the rest is Wrinkle Black.

This will also be my test cover. It was cracked right in the corner by the oil cap where these things always crack. I have a metal puddy specifically made for repairing Aluminum, and is commonly used by powdercoaters because it holds powder very well, and supposidely can be polished to a shine as well. So anyway I guess I'll see how it holds.

Re: Powder results

That is really cool. Are there any shifting colors you can do? Like a red into blue or some such?
