My new valve covers

[dysan]

So I purchased a used set of valve covers from blackgt09 on here(thanks again for the deal!) to powder coat for my car. I did them in 4 layers, an epoxy primer base for durability, chemical and outgassing protection, a smoothing primer, a chrome powder as the base color and the top coat which is flat plate blue transparent. They turned out pretty damn good I think except for the edge of the VCT areas I capped and filled. The blue powder just didn't want to take well around the edge but I can live with that since they are mine. Here's some crappy cell phone pictures I shot last night.

ROFL! My step-mother commented on that damn wand/tiara on facebook. I didn't even think about what else was in the pics when I took them.

They were given to my wife as a gag gift for the "magic" she worked this past weekend at her job.

I've been thinking about doing it in that color, but with it being dark it would soak up heat during the summer sun. I stripped the yellow back off it and it has a metallic silver on it for a base but I need to figure out a top coat over the metallic. I may just clear it and call it a day.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm quite pleased with how the color turned out.

I put some of this color on a scrap piece of angle iron I had and I want to see what it would look like with clear over it to make it smooth and glossy. Hopefully I'll find the time this weekend to do that and if I like it these covers may get the same treatment.

Thanks for the compliment.
