Nice job on the Valve cover

thanks! i dont know about the IC in red... I'm going to build a diverted like the one BahamaBart had on his forge setup.. maybe i'll do that red.

but yes the recovery tank would be great black!

although i would really like to get the forge tanks!

First of all I will apologize for bumping an old thread.

I have some engine parts going to powdercoat in a couple days, and am wondering if the valve cover would be able to withstand the coating and baking process. Just would rather have the reds match under the hood for sure. Any help will be great.
thanks
Anthony
