Bob,
If you choose to powder coat degrease the valve cover as much as possible and
then cook it in the powder-coating oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes,
degrease it again with acetone or something similar, bake it again, clean it
again and then powder coat it. I try to bake everything I've powder coated
just because you don't always know how greasy the part might have been in a
prior life. If you don't bake the parts you can get some bad results when you
add powder to the process and you don't want to have to spend hours and hours
(or money to pay someone) blasting powder coating off a part.

Subject: [6pack] valve cover question
Hi,
Is it a good idea to have a 72 TR6 valve cover powder coated maybe in a nice
silver?
Or should it just be painted with silver engine paint?
Just asking.
Bob
