[Tavman_1213]

Ok so here the thing I am doing a BPT swap and replacing pretty much everything on the car!! When a friend of mine told me i had to paint the valve cover something alittle different cause it the center piece of the BPT apperance! So I decided to get my valve cover powder coated but then I saw this YouTube video of this process called "Hydro Dipping"! I then decided to do some digging in to this topic an see about pricin an stuff! Found a guy in BC that is going to do it for $100 bucks plus shipping!!! So I decided to go ahead an get it done!! I just shipped it of yesterday but it should be done before Christmas!! So my question really is do you gentlemen think this will be a wicked idea??

Sounds super expensive for a purely cosmetic upgrade.

I just used a $10 can of high heat paint.

Hydro dipping to me means when you work for Manitoba Hydro and carpool, and then everyone claims milage.

[Tavman_1213]

It is purely cosmetic but it will be a one of a kind valve cover!!! I am sure once you see it all done you will like it!!! even though it is just for cosmetics!!
hahaha Manitoba hydro i havent heard someone talk about electric hydro since i moved from ontairo!! i stopped using it out here cause people give you a funny looks in alberta when you talk about it!! hahaha

I googled some images and it does look sick! Can't wait to see it

Does look impressive. Interested to see what design you have
Sounds a fair price to me.

[Josh]

Sounds sweet, 100 bucks is worth it.

[Tavman_1213]

The design I am getting put on is called "The Reaper" pattern!!! An after it gets dipped he is going to paint the raised lettering white!! I will post pictures as soon as i get it back, which should be before christmas (this is my christmas present to myself)!! It will be sexy!!

[Tavman_1213]

Well we have progress! It's all powdered coated an has been shipped off to be hydro dipped!!! So excited!! I should hopefully see it early next week!!!

[Josh]

Just the powder coat looks nice!... I cant wait to see how this looks and holds up. some of the cool paint jobs I have seen on the VC's tends to fade and discolor over time. from what i have read it is pretty durable, I cant wait to see final product.

[Tavman_1213]

HOLY F**K it looks awesome!!! I will get more pics when it arrives!!

[Evo_Spec]

that's pretty unique there, i actually quite like it

[Mooneggs]

oh is it supposed to look that way? I mean... is it like marbled or something or is it supposed to look like smoke fumes or something?

[MrMazda92]

I think it's more for the marbled look Mark.

I like it, but I still prefer solid colors with white lettering.

[youdirtyfox]

I like! would look amazing with like a grim reaper/zombie type theme

[Tavman_1213]

Youdirtfox it is the Reaper pattern!!! So no it is not a marble pattern it's just a bad picture but it's the only one the guy sent me!! I will get some better ones when I get it!!
