Valve cover painted

[6spd]

Anyone know where i can send my valve cover to to get some flames painted on it?

[morkable]

I would bet that Andy Lutz Jr Art would do it... and do it amazingly too... he is doing my helmet right now... just search that name on facebook and he will come up

[LReiff]

Seen this on hotrod tv or a similar show but this (http://www.killerpaint.com/index.html) guy does true fire.

[WUnderwood]

^^^ that guy is incredible

[TMONEYDIESEL]

Thats Mike Lavallee from WA, awesome guy and artist. I went to his shop a couple times and his work is amazing.

I message him hopefully it can be done for a fair price

[HightechRedneck]

Bet he won't touch it for under a grand.

Can plastic be powder coated?

Did you get a reply?
Can plastic be powder coated?
No. Powder coating needs to reach near 400*f to properly cure.

You may want to investigate liquid image transfer!

This thread makes me want to break out my airbrush again. I used to airbrush fishing lures. Nothing like any of the quality work here, but oh well.

Some plastics can.

That image transfer stuff is pretty cool.
