Anymore pics Rubbercty? Also, do the valve covers come off easily? What was the cost to get them PC'd?

Blue wrinkle is one of the more expensive colors to do. And one of the more difficult to do properly.

I didn't do it, had MO's speed shop do it as I had an extra set of cam covers. he sent them out to his powder coater and installed them. I believe one side is easy the other side not so much. Powder coating varies in different parts of country, figure $150-250 on average. sometimes more..just depends

Getting it past the A/C evaporator case.

Mine's el naturale. If you can find CD2 engine spray , you can use that after cleaning. It dries and is not oily. CD2 is discontinued. Can find old stock on eBay sonetimes

I have detailed cars for 26 years, ran several higher end shops as well as new car dealers. I currently use D100 by Ohio Auto Supply. It dillues well, is water based and leaves a nice finish. I use them because they are local to me but there are many other products just as good. Also keep in mind I am doing volume so I need something with simplicity of use

I use some S100 to detail my engine area. It was what I used on my Harley. Last awhile and keeps things looking good. Not to much film. Get it from the Harley dealer or on line.
