Painting engine cover

[m a v [3] r i c k]

Hi,
Need some help.
Anyone know where to spray engine rocker cover to become like those on Honda engines with black and rough surface?
Roughly how much will it cost and can it last with such high temperature from the engine?
Preferably location around Subang/Sunway/PJ area.
Thanks in advance.

i know! mine is powder coated! there is one in sg besi (you may need to remove all rubber insulator/ oil seal) *ie replace new ones after powder coating.

while its textured, it not like those hundah ones (grainy).

the process of powder coating is heat (higher temp) treated upon spraying.
not sure of the process is called but similar to baking in the oven.


most guys go for engine cover paint spraying as its easier (a little less work) just as effective in looking good. see images posted above by 1z282.

my stock cover was originally dull silver. this is how mine looks after PCoating (textured effect).

red, black, silver, gunametal, blue etc in textured surface. its not however as grainy as hondah ones (look more spray blasting effect).

i wanted the textured look & it definitely ended costlier than just spray painting

[koolspyda]

most paint shops can do guess some do better than others.

powder coating is different process & paint shops dont do that except sub to the people who do so.

have fun
