Default powder coating help-valve covers

Looking for some recommendations for a reliable powder coating service I can ship my Valve covers to?

I'm looking to take my original finned valve covers and have them powder coated Chevy Orange with the fins black. I would prefer to ship them to someone who has done this before.

Would love to see pics of anyones finished covers!!!

Look at eastwood.com for their powdercoating kits. find an old thrift store oven and do it yourself. By the time you pay shipping and someone else you'll have spent the cost of the kit and oven; then you can coat anything that'll fit in the oven. PM me and I'll send you some more pix and how to:

I have the oven and compressor, just need to hook them up and get a powdercoat gun, build a booth, and get some supplies. Not sure which gun I want to get yet...
