Looks really good :)

I read up on the process and it seems like you got a really smooth layer of paint for working with powder and heat. Super impressive, especially to a girl that can barely manage to color between the lines!

:thumbup:

how much do you charge for PC'ing plastic valve covers?

never done a plastic one, but don't see why it wouldn't work. so same cost as a metal one.

pm me for a price

Never heard of powdercoating plastic....don't think it works like metal does. But very nice work nonetheless! I did my rotors similar to that at the start of this year only I did the outside of them too (the cooling vents) so they wouldn't rust over on me. It makes such a huge difference and it's so simple. I love it.

Again nice work :)

I'm pretty sure you can't powder coat plastic since it uses an electrostatic process to stick the powder to the metal before baking......
Great work though :thumbup:

I have a set of new black rims with a polished lip that I need something done to. I need to leave the spokes black but do the lip in white. I know it can be done, I just don't have anywhere around here to do it.

thanks for the comments guys, i have been playing around with plastics. It seems that if you heat the part to just below 200 degrees, it sticks just as well as a metal part. you can powdercoat just about anything that will hold up to 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

I will think about starting a vendor thread, but not sure i want to get that big just yet. I also have a full time job and college to do.

I will do some parts if asked though, just going by word of mouth so far.
