WOW! I was thinking while I had my engine out and appart....about having my valve covers polished as well as my intake runners. I'm not concerned about winning any awards....just having something pleasing to the eyes while not going overboard. I've seen intakes polished to the point where they look like they were chromed. Think that would look decent?

Paul Sloan (Sloan83qv) Member Username: Sloan83qv Post Number: 448 Registered: 3-2001 Posted on Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 1:45 pm:    The aluminum/ceramic coating gives the part that shinny silver look (see oil breather tube)so that the areas that are not powder coated really shine and will not dull over time as it normaly does. http://www.airborncoatings.com/customer/index3.html Tom Francis (Tfrancis) New member Username: Tfrancis Post Number: 7 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 1:04 pm:    Paul, Very Cool!! Why did you Ceramic Coat first? Is it really necessary and how is it done? I have a powder coater kit and will have the oven soon. I plan to do the same to my car including calipers & A-Arms. Any tips I should know? Jeff Edison (Euro308guy) Junior Member Username: Euro308guy Post Number: 136 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 08, 2003 - 12:43 pm:    Paul- BRAVO! They look beautiful!!! Nice job. You won't win the concourse, but you might win peoples choice. You've got my vote! Our little club in Memphis just bought a powder coating kit. Can't wait to use it.

I'd love to see a pic when they go back on the engine. I found a place that does a bright silver anodize that look almost like polished Alum, I've been thinking about it. i really like your though.
