You heard me, I want to buy a front valve cover for a 1MZFE V6. If anyone has one please let me know.

I have one from a camry, I think it is the same thing- I bought it to have it powdercoated on my solara before it was totaled. I'll dump it for $50 shipped through paypal, shoot me a pm if you are interested in figuring something out!

^I wish I would have known that a couple of weeks ago. My cover is at the powder coater now. What color where you going to go with?

Damon, did you get it powder coated or never got to it?

I can get one from the salvage yard for you.

I was goin' to polish mine.

Well guys thanks for the responses, I PM'd Damon so now I'm just waiting for his reply.

Meanwhile, what finish should I give my new valve cover? Any suggestions? I'm leaning toward gloss black. It's a black car and I have a black Injen so I think it's fitting.

I never got around to getting it coated, but I got the one on the 240 done in wrinkle red:

^Wow, whoever did that did a nice job, plus I've always wanted one of those HKS oil caps...thry're hot. How much did it cost and how long to get it done?

by **CamryOnBronze** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 8:10 am

It was $75 bucks, took a couple days but it was a friend locally with a small oven. It came out really nice for sure though!

How much are new Valve Covers from Toyota typically?

by **SleeperSolara** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 9:20 am

You should powdercoat the valve cover black chrome.

Damon that SR20 valve cover is very nice.

by **akora12** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 9:35 am

^I was going that route, but most black-chrome powders have a green tinge in certain lights.

by **ToyoSolV6** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 10:28 am

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

I'm too cheap to powdercoat it. I know I can do some pretty good work with black paint, so that's what it'll be. I just dropped like $260 on stuff for the car in the last two weeks, and have about $1400 worth of stuff in mind.
