Thread: powder coating valve cover

  1. #1

    powder coating valve cover

    I need some suggestions from you guys. My 1995 C36 is in pretty good shape, except the valve cover gasket looks worn out. Due to heat and oil, the paint has sort of bubbled in a few locations. Do you guys know of any good shops in Southern Cal that do powder coating? If not, do you know of any MB tuners who sell aftermarket valve covers (Brabus, Renntech)? The OEM replacement is over $750 and there's no guarantee that it won't "bubble" again.
    Thanks.

    That is crazy boi....$750 for a valve cover..man, I would suggest just getting it powder coated if ya dont mind having ur car out of service for a few days while its bein done. cant help ya out on where, but either get it powder coated or sand and paint it urself with some valve cover paint or high heat paint.
    I painted my valve cover red..took me 3 hours from start to finish including painting and reinstalling!!
