[LTHLRB]

Hey guys, i want to get my rocker covers and timing and coil pack cover powder coated in a soft grey colour (ill post a pic up) also who here can do powder coating? preferably in northern suburbs.. anyone who wants a bit extra cash in their pockets? but needs to do a damn fine job!

Anyway, any help will be good.. Phill

Hey Phill,

your only option is to get them painted.

The centre cover is plastic, therefor can not be powder coated, also the cam cover has a rubber seal which will perish in the oven.

Go to a good painter and get all the items you have listed painted.

But if you really want a good powder coater, for other items, the guy that has done all my items, including my rims, is in Airport West. Problem is that he is currently in Perth, on holiday, till mid Jan.

He has a great silver for you ic/intake pipes, similar to the ones in the pic.

Hey Phill, can you give me a call tomorrow, after 1pm, on 0427 076490.

I'll explain how to get your parts done then.

It's his dad's business, but he left (had enough of the constant father/son feuds). He still does all the fiddly jobs for him though and also does alot of work on the side, as he is a better coater than his old man.

Phil, if you feel like a drive to Winsor/St.Kilda you can come and see my stuff in the flesh.

My mate (Mick/MiColour) - is Cheltenham, but 11/10 work.

The pics ive taken don't seem to show the quality, far better to look at than powder coating and i think what your looking for is similar to what ive had done.

Colours are obviously different but you get the idea.

Here is a "pic", but looks very much better in decent natural light... bear in mind its not totally finished either.

Ive have bit more work done on it all since then

Cheers

thats imaculate!! yeah that will cost a fair wack aswell wouldnt it? im going for something slightly cheaper because im bound to scratch it while im working on it and im in a rush..

looks the same colour.. is it a gunmetal?

[R31Nismoid]

i would imagine it to be a good few hundred, but then thats

Plenum

Rockers

Cam cover

Belt cover

Intake piping x2

So a fair bit of prep work and spray work involved.

Its a custom colour of silver that was made up for my car, and is also on a certain persons wheels, other than that no-one else has that one

Looks a bit different in the light that's for sure

[LTHLRB]

yeah true, but it shouldnt be that much if its rockers, belt cover. But not in a custom colour, but a gunmetal/grey colour.
