I was wanting to purchase a RED powder coated valve cover for my 1994 Celica ST. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy one?

Go to a junkyard and pull a cover and send it off to get powder coated.

I have a little powder coating company I run on the side, LINK.
I know a junk yard about 2 hours north of me that has 2 st's with the valve covers still on the cars. I could try and drive up there sometime this week or maybe next weekend (they are only open Saturday) and pick them up. I could then powder coat them in a color of your choice and then ship them out to you guys wont have any down time. If you're interested send me a pm and we can talk about pricing and colors. If this breaks any rules just let me know, and I'll take it down immediately. I spend way too much time on here to want to get in trouble. -------------------- -Brad

paint will fade and possibly crack if you dont do it right, powdercoating is expensive but the way to go.
C3L1CA can you sandblast them or dip them to make them wicked clean? If not how do you clean the products before you coat? Thanks |
