Well im getting a bit of people asking me about this so im just gonna go ahead and make a thread about this. If anyone is interested in getting their car's valve cover machine polished let me know prices range from 40-60 depending on the kind of valve cover it is

Example:

a l28e valve cover form the 240z or Datsun family is easier to polish since there are no deep grooves in them. Unlike the SR20 valve cover that has spark plugs in the center theres a big groove in there so that part gets hand polished so theres extra work in involved

wont really be making a lot of money out of this. just thought id get some nice shininess without the extra weight of the CHROME under peeps hoods. I do accept PAYPAL, or CASH, and i CAN get these shipped.here are a few pics of the works

If you are shipping the valve cover to me i can provide an adress and the money would have to be payed upfront. so i can ship the valve cover BACK to its owner. PM ME IF YOU ARE SERIOUSly INTERESTED. im more than happy to answer any questions. Please do send me a pic or a referance pic so i can give you a quote. REALLY GOOD WORK.

 

HAHAHA you have the same problem i did! the polishing doesnt take between the letters on the datsun L valve cover and in the grooves for the bolts to hold it down near the bottom. doesnt that just make you fumed?

 

how do u think i feel i used 800 wet grit sand paper then 1000 1200 1500 2000 grit and about 20 hours worth of work on just one of my valve covers... i have 2 extra polished valves covers in storage... turbo ones...

 

must feel like you aint got no fingerprints thats for sure haha been there done that

 

what material are Z32 covers? can they be polished?

 

trust me... il make them a hell of a lot shinyer than you can imagine i thinkm they are aluminum. and both metal and aluminum can be made to shine send me some pics if you can so i can PM you a quote.

 

i'm just curious. it will be a LONG time before i am ready for that. i'm not taking my plenum off until i have turbos in my hand

 

hey kas if you want polished valve covers and a polished plenum and dont want too much down time buy some extras from you know who wink wink and get them polished. when there done then just swap everything over polished in old ugly ones out and walla your back on the road in a few hours instead of a few weeks

 

Good Idea :d

 

YO! Jose here reporting in to show off my work done to 69firebird's on hybridz. Datsun 6cyl valve covers let me know what you think or if youd like me to do some work for yah

 

im going to polish mine one day............................................... ..........look at it V V V V... all oxidized!!!

 

Still doing work guys lots of lux that can go under your hood. let me know

valve covers, intake manis, thermostat housings, master cylinders, fuel rail, etc etc.

 

Anyone else wants some parts done ? night an day difference with show quality results.

 

Just got this Beautiful show quality TURBO VC done for ATTYOUNG911 on hybridz.org... which i am SURE he will love. here are some pics. somehow the BEFORE (stock) pic was lost from my cellphone perhaps he has one he can post. as for me i cna post the AFTER pics ENJOY



So clean you can see your face on it and NO... its not chrome ...

 

what about the cover polished but the letters painted and clear coated?

 

Negative that is up to the customer. i provide a very clean polishand high qualityjob. after that. clear coating. painting etc etc is up to the customer

 

Im about to start working on a pretty big order i got from another forum. it was kind of a group buy. if anybody wants to get some parts done right now i could give out some boom @$$ prices on BULK work. ( more than 3 pieces )

 

How much for these?

 

I tried twice to post either a link or a pic to bid on, but the censors got me both times.

Highly unimpressed.

 

uhh... wth are you talking about ?

 

Not sure where your losing me at. The subject of the thread is "polished valve covers", and you've been soliciting people to have you polish theirs all through it.
I attempted to post pics of mine, in an attempt to get a price from you, and was censored. So I tried direct links, and the software came up with some type of scoring system that had the same effect.
By that point I was, and still am, pretty unimpressed with that performance.

At this point it's more bother than it's worth to me.

 

lol thiiis guy. im not soliciting anybody fyi. i polished a few parts a while ago. a lot of my friends as well as people ive met on car shows liked the way my parts looked and had me do theirs. so i figured id see if anybody ONLINE liked my work and if they want to get some parts done great. if not its fine. . as far as you posting up pics and being unsuccessful i cant really help you with that. i would say that's your own problem buddy haha :P all you have to do is tell me what valve cover from what car and year it is and i can give you a price, i can tell you that haha. its not rocket science you know

but thanks for looking

 

Spam prevention... have patience little grasshopper. It's only for the first 10 posts of new users.

 

Heheh, well that's quite the way to get aquainted, step up and be a CENSOR, right off the bat. Funny part is, I suspect if that's their way of cutting down traffic, it may work pretty good the way I see things.
I see they decided to put my pics up.

I've decided that they're going to stay black.

 

Heheh. If that's true then you should be able to tell me what year and car those are off of now that they've put the pics up.


Doesn't matter anymore, not gonna happen.
