Thumbs up on the valve cover, not digging the bumper cover.

I'm with Jet on this one. I love the 97-99 GSX exterior bone stock except for springs and wheel/tire.

If you have a big black FMIC it might look alright, sort of mimicking the Evo X front bumper in my opinion, black trapezoid.

hey guys

So I went to clear the valve cover and it started cracking right away, what happened. Did it not like what was on the surface? needless to say I stripped it and im starting over. What should I do different?

Powdercoat it.

^x2. Take it to Powder Keg who is a sponsor on here. Does awesome work and it wont crack

The paint wasn't compatible with the powder coat. Valve covers take such a beating that paint usually doesn't last at all.

Re: Got Bored
 
I didn't have to get new baffles, just block off the parts you don't want coated.

how do they get all the crap out after they sand blast it?

I stripped it prior to painting it.

They didn't sand blast mine, just chemical stripped it in some acid bath I think. Contact powderkeg to see what they say.
Mine was done by primo

Fail on my part. The paint wasn't compatible with the CLEAR coat.
