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.

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.

Sounds sweet, 100 bucks is worth it.

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!!

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!!!

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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!!
