i never thought that powder coat was the right idea on the inline 6 , i choose to take of my valve cover and wet sand it to a polished shine looks great if u ask me.. its just super time consuming.. maybe 10 hours straight sanding to get that perfect mirror shine..

That looks great!
I just spent $10 on white paint for mine... looks ok.

What kind of prep work did you do? ..or did he beat blast it for you and powdercoat it for $40 total? man, if that's the case I should have a Turbo valve cover powdercoated white.
