Question Powdercoating in CT?

Does anyone know of a place in CT where I can get a valve cover powder coated for a reasonable price? Some of the places I e-mailed gave me fairly high quotes. One of them was $100 which would not be worth it to me. Its not like I'm restoring some vintage iron here.

Hehe.




Not too much though. I just want to make it look decent and have a little personality. Its also a cheap way to keep myself busy with the car. (Unlike what I'm going to bring it in to your place for in late April )

I hear you. I have been doing some small detail work to my engine bay as well. A little here and there keeps me busy and improves the car for little dough. Looking forward to seeing it bud.

Well, I got the cover back!





Not bad for $40.

Here is their site: http://www.powdercoatus.com/index.html

Nice guys to work with. They told me that their philosophy was to offer affordable powder coating so that people would come back to them. I'll probably go back next time I have something to get coated.

Sorry, don't have one. But I'll take a comparison picture with my current cover. They looked pretty similar.
