Question Powder coat

I got my hands on an extra Valve cover and would like to PC it red

I'm in Orlando, so some place close would be nice, if not I'm in for a road trip

I'm also looking for someone who knows how to do a "leakdown test" and knows Honda Motors

ProCoat does excellent work, but they are in Tampa. I had a friend of mine who lives in Orlando drive to Tampa to have his wheels done there. He said it was well worth the mileage.

I've had work done by ProCoat a couple times now. They are great.

The price depends on what you want done to the valve cover. If it is a one coat powder or two coats, etc.

I think they charge $90 per wheel for a single stage powdercoat (i.e. no metallics which require an additional clear powdercoat). That includes prep and powdercoat. Prices may have changed, so you'll definately want to get a quote from them.

I had my Focus wheels done by Pro Coat. They did a flawless job and 4-years later they still look brand new (no flaking, bubbling, etc.).
