i'm looking to do red, like a TRD red with a good powder clear coat. are you using polyester, hybrid, or epoxy? i prefer epoxy, but it's not that big of a deal for me.

calipers i can do as well. be sure to send them completely taken apart. i dont want to be responsible for anything being broken. 1 pston calipers start at $45, 2-piston start at $60 all variant on color
probably a dumb question... but is that for all 4? calipers i can do as well. be sure to send them completely taken apart. i dont want to be responsible for anything being broken. 1 pston calipers start at $45, 2-piston start at $60 all variant on color

ironically enough, we probably have the cheapest prices anyway!!!
if you guys need other things done, just let me know. i can give you a quote. if it's rims, i need to know the sizes (height and width) as well as the color. everything else, i need to know the part and color
so who else is ready to sign up??

no. that's per caliper. i would use an epoxy based powder for that. i do have a safety red color which is a really bright red that could almost double as the TRD red.

probably somewhere around $140 depending on the color and the specific Intake manifold

and since everyone has been asking about the prep work that we do. here's a start.
first we start with a hot tank degreasing. it's nothing more than a ratio of purple power degreaser and water heated up to 140 degrees farenheit. we let it soak in there for about an hour. then, we remove the oil baffles and let the baffle plates soak longer while we blast the valve covers. we first blast it with 15/30 grit silicone carbide which removes all the greasy and brutal gunk that has been soaking on it for the last 16 years. this is followed by a 70 grit aluminum oxide and finally a 300 grit glass bead. at this point. if the substrate still has impurities of really bad pitting, we may or may not go back to square one and start with files and/or a power sander. after the sanding, we rince it off with water and blow it dry with clean compressed air. once it is completely dry, we outgas it at 500 degrees for 90 minutes. before we give it a chance to cool off, we spray it with denatured alchohol and let it evaporate dry. the substrate is now ready for powder. here are some pics of a valve cover after prep and ready for powder!

wow im very impressed with your work. im also very impressed with the finish on both my parts 
cant wait to recieve them!!
cant wait to recieve them!!
just between yo uand me (and apparently everyone else that is reading this) that valve cover was yours, but i gave it to no shoes and got his core from him. which makes it better, because his has less imperfections in the metal than yours did and i messed up on that one anyway. take note on the second to last pic of the VC underneath the oil fill hole on the side. can you see the run??? so be glad i did that. yours will look much nicer!!
Gi_Shu_Som Powdercoating FTMFW!!!!
matt, i need your shipping address. i cant find the box that your parts came in
also, for the record, the genIII 3sgte VC's and all other VC's with rivited oil baffles do not use the same prep methods as the VC's with bolted oil baffles. i cant blast them for obvious reasons (media getting into baffles = blown motor) so we use a special chemical to strip the covers as well as a wire brush and a 6400psi hot water pressure washer!
