WANTED: front valve cover 1MZ

[Mr_Chunkz]

how much do you guys think would be a fair price to get a valve cover powdercoated?
I was sort of leaning to candy blue or gloss black

have greg's brother paint it for you
check out the work he did on mines

paint is just fine to take the heat and abuse

^ That's hot, mine will look an awful lot like that.

I was completely skeptical when greg told me paint is just fine, but had it put on anyway
costs way less than powdercoat
and so far so good... although, it hasnt really had much abusive running conditions thrown at it.

GregTRD's camry is the same kind of paint and that paint still looks brand new.

I have plenty of confidence in paint, and in my ability to apply it. And I can rip off some street cred by telling people it's powdercoated lol.

Not to shoot you down.
But unless it got alot of clear coat on it and you wax it like a mofo.

If $50 or whatever to have a VC powdercoated is too much, then man... I don't even know.

I agree.
I paided $80 for my calipers and brackets to be powder coated and clear coated twice.
And he gave me a discount for the powder coatin' too, cause he told me that he usually charges about $100 somethin' to powder coated twin piston calipers.

Well Damon doesn't have the valve cover anymore, so that means I'm still looking.
