i wont give you a price, i dont give prices. you need to bring what you want done to me. that way i can see if i can achieve the desired results.
I was talking about the valve cover. You can actually get custom Hydro Graphics. It's just more expensive.

KMO don't take a chance powder coating you valve cover. You don't want your oil separators to melt.

i am not so sure about that custom graphics blue. i am positive they can not create a file from scratch and apply it to the material ready for dipping. they get pre packaged patterns made by the manufactors of the material. and tell you the truth the quality of the patterns is second rate at best. they can only get the material at certain sizes and thats why you will get seems in thier patterns.



i can make something from complete scratch and produce it. in the highest of qualities. to whatever size.

kevin you draw your own conclusions its your car. as i see things everyone likes to second guess me, so what do i know. only been in this very industry for 20 yrs, i wont know much about the subject.

Conclusions about what mark? I don't know what you are talking about. I asked before about getting the gauges done and you said it would be expensive so I thought if I could do some work it would still work and be cheaper

But thanks for the info on the hydro dip I never knew that and it makes sence

i said getting a valve cover airbrushed wont be cheap. guages would be resonably priced i just dont know how much. to be honest black cat custom would be able to give you a product you will like.

Well I picked the aem gauges because they come with 2 faces that are easily replaced so I could give you a set to work with and if you have the stock file then thats perfect I'm just looking for the colours and stuff to match don't care about fonts

Your valve cover still has plastic oil separators on the intake side where an LSJ has them on both.

Calm down Mark I'm not trying to "curve your business". It's just another way to do it. And I was initially talking about the valve cover which you said you can't do anyways so there's no business to take away.

Mine doesn't come apart either. If you look underneath there's a plate rivited to the top of it. Under that is where the plastic biscuits are. I'm not saying yours are definitely melted. But it's easy to do. That's why Powell stopped powerdercoating valve covers.

well you're on a good path then! Haha. If they were it will suck oil mist into the motor and burn it which creates detonation. Just keep an eye on your tune just in case.

I will bring my car in or you can see the work that Mark did on my rims. They look real nice with that snakeskin. My trim on the interior is looking sexier than ever.
