geez this would be easier with a way to manage files on the forum!!

 

I think for my valve cover, fuse box, heat shield ect. I might go with the saftey red. As for the green, whatever G-I-T-D shade would look best.

 

can't powdercoat heat shield and fuse box cover....for one the fuse box cover is plastic. it would melt into nothingness. The Heatshield gets so hot that it would require special "burner" colors....the two large pictures listed above....hi-temp black and silver are both good colors and good for a 1000* and 1200* peak temps. These colors will fade some though as anything that gets that hot will.

To get a g-i-t-d green you'd want to pick a lighter shade of green, maybe a sharp (crayola) green or even a neon green to match your neon lights. The lighter the color the more it will glow.

 

Will the engine paint that G2 offers be able to withstand the high temps of the heat shield, valve cover, fuse box etc?

 

The heat shield and manifold are the hottest parts of the vehicle and the only pieces that can't be covered by standard powdercoating.

Plastic can't be powdercoated...it only works on metal.

I do not know anything about G2 paint. I have never liked painted surfaces on a car. Powdercoating is just a much nicer finish that lasts longer and resists heat and corrosion.

 

bumpity bump bump...next week starts construction...finally got all of my permits in and through the contractors waiting list.

 

well you have like "stock" where you could send 1 out w/ a deposit and when you get a like piece refund the deposit...

valve cover...

 

I will not have a stock on hand immediatly. I'm currently in negotiations with Protegegarage.com to exclusively coat for them and Ken is in the process of working out a "core charge" system. Feel free to visit his site and email him for further info.

He's the brains, I'm the muscle.

p.s. He's also on here as "Ken@protegegarage"

 

so you will be able to powdercoat the brake calipers, thats cool let me know what the prices are looking like when you get up and running and also have a pair of rims i would like done too

 

just a pair of rims? Only two? Yeah calipers can be done but will have to be completly disassembled prior to shipping to me....all rubber and plastic has to be removed. These pieces get "cured" at about 450* so it has to be clear of plastic and rubber first.

 

Ballpark $ for four calipers please

 

in a standard color (no texture/additives) I'm guessing about $100-125 for all four. I can do glow-in-the-dark for $100 extra.

 

sorry if this has already been answered, but how much for a 2.0l valve cover if i sand blast it first for you? Id like it in the safety red.

 

There's really no point in blasting it for me because there's more to prepping it than just that.

Right now I'm shooting for $200. Once I see how well my new curing equipment runs I may be able to go a little less, but exact pricing isn't set yet.

 

constructing actually starts this weekend. tomorrow I have to steak the property with the city inspector and sometime next week they'll start and finish. I'm hoping to get the electrical done the following weekend.

Were you just wanting your valve cover done? Just a glossy safety red? That will look good! I'm going to try to get a wrinkle red finish like the new MS-M cover.
