That's what I want my cam covers to look like. Where did you get them coated at?

Can I hire him away from you? The guys around here want $250 for the cam covers. $100 of that is the powder. I may try to buy a spray gun and do it my self. But if I get caught with one more car part in my wifes oven The Axe Will Fall, She'll cut me off. I don't think he could do it any cheaper with shipping. But I'ld like to call him and see. May I have his number?

My guy will do it for $150 plus shipping. He does it right, and he "out gasses" (bake em in the oven for hours to burn off all traces of oil that are left over ...even after he blast them) them as well.

To be honest I will be happy to drive the car, it's been down now for about 14 months. Mainly due to a incompetent local engine builder that screwed me over twice with failed attempts on my engine but successfully making my wallet light.
I would assume close to 600 hp.

At the shop???
Call me at (914) 582-6262 anytime before 10 EST (Momma likes to go to sleep, so no car talk after that time!).

That's a deal.
Use FedEx Ground to ship it out there and you will be in the money!
