Here's a preview pic. Had it done by a local powdercoating shop.

What do you think?



I'm going to install it when the weather warms up.

 

looks good, im gonna do mine also but i think ill be doing black.

 

looks good.. too much red for me though.. i did mine all flat black earlier this year

 

Awesome. The red is perfect.

Black?? Why even paint it at all. Everything under every hood is black anyway.

 

im doing mine blackwith red ecotec lettering. its just a simple touch that you wouldnt notice off first glance.

 

Hey, I noticed your from Brampton too. I'm going to be offsetting the red with other black parts and/or polished aluminum parts. This is just the starting point.

 

looks good, thats a great choice of red.Cant wait to see it on the car

 

Looks great.

 

Looks good Chris!

 

How did you remove this piece? I was gonna powder coat mine but couldn't get it off

 

how much.. how long did it take?? I live in Durham region. east of Brampton. but im curious how long I need to be with out a car

 

I bought a new one $113 so I can do it over the winter

 

Looks great! I was going to purchase one from the dealer and have a company I do business with powder coat it fire engine red....but then I thought that was just too much work just for that......

Cant wait to see in the installed pictures

 

i was thinking of doing the same thing with mine its subtle but would look good

 

looks good! makes me want to get mine done.

 

I got this hook up from a shop in Peterborough. The day the receive the part, it gets prepped and coated. A brand new part as with mine, 2 days it's done and ready to ship back to me.

I would expect that as long as you have the valve cover cleaned up, your turn around time would be the same. You could probably go there drop it off and pick it up since your closer to Peterborough than I am.

Honestly, I don't know. I bought a brand new valve cover from the dealer.

Thanks Todd.

 

did it come with a new gasket The only thing that has been holding me back on mine was I havent looked for a gasket yet I do posder coating out of the house so I will be done same day. wasnt sure if the gasket was reusuable tho.
how much did the coating cost you

If you don't damage the existing gasket and it looks like it's in good shape then you don't need a new one.

 

Great idea, not sure on the color. I'd have to see it on the car before I decide. Definitely am going to do this in the spring though.

 

Yes, the gasket was included. I can't remember the cost, but I got it from one of the online GM parts dealers.

In regards to concerns about the colour I chose, here is the engine bay of my 2004 Dodge SRT4 for reference.

 

Wow. I like

 

do u remember which parts dealer it was?

 

Think it was GM Parts Worldwide or GM Parts Direct.

 

gmpartsdirect has it for 104, and buygmpartsworldwide has it for 125. Did yours come with the gasket?

 

He said earlier it did. Not bad for the price if it does.
