You can pick one up from me when I'm assured that you're actually going to buy one. I don't refinish these unless I know someone is coming to pick one up.

For example, if I refinished one in black for you, and you did not show up, I would be stuck with a black valve cover that may not sell, as other people may not want a black valve cover. Now, I could strip and refinish the black one, but then I would have stripped, refinished, polished, stripped, refinished, and polished one valve cover for $45. That's a lot of work for $45.

Since I've never met you, nor have I ever spoken online with you (except for within this thread), I am a bit uneasy about refinishing the valve cover without at least some payment in advance.

At this point, I will PM you. But, I thought what preceded this was important information for anyone else who might want a refinished valve cover. If I know you, this does not apply, though.
