- Sat Aug 23, 2008 3:43 pm #67109 I should have made my first try at powder coating with a bracket or something small, but I did my Valve Cover instead. I went with Bronze Metallic. I think it turned out ok for my first try ever powder coating. There are a few places that did not turn out perfect, maybe a second coat will help

Hot Coat system from Eastwood


Prepped Valve Cover








Right out of the oven




Outside







Did a second coat, Came out much better. Now to decide on sanding the letters or painting them red









Sanded the letters.



I did the Power steering pump bracket and the trans mount satin black and I did my air intake Bronze. I set the valve cover on the D15B and it looks pretty cool.

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.
