yes i know painting isnt as good powder coating i did some when i worked at art graphics and designs. where i live now powder coating isnt easy to find and if you do they are EXPENSVE. so i resorted to painting.

I lot of the stuff I've got powdercoated in the past I've shipped somewhere. Shipping valve covers is pretty cheap, send it up to VA somewhere and you should be able to get a good deal. Painting works fine, but rattle can paint isn't going to give good long lasting results. You need some quality automotive paint.
