Now if we could come up with a solution to those crappy looking headers!

Like I said in post #2, I'm ready for a piece of this action. I have an MG car too and I love the "Satin Aluminum" - it will be a good match for my plenum cover. Thanks for your efforts and let me know when we can get into it!

Otherwise, it'll take several days of "down time" for shipping and doing the process.
Anyone else interested?
Ha! I misspelled powder! Thats funny, like the powerder coat adds power!
Looking to get some more exposure than the Modifications/Other Mods section, so I wanted to post a link here.
We are looking to see if enough people are interested in getting your cam covers powder coated. Thinking about buying a set of cam covers to act as a core, so they can be changed out in a few hours, instead of waiting several days for shipping and process time.
Check out the link if interested :

I know what you mean, the stock headers are the ugliest thing under the hood now. If we get some more people interested, I'll buy a set of cam covers to act as a core.

The reflective chrome was what I was wanting as well, but they came out with more of a satin finish, which, like you said, is fine. I've seen other covers that he has done for an Evo, that came out just like polished chrome. But the Mustang covers are pretty coarse to start with, which I think has an effect.
Still, I'm very pleased with the results.

Looks like we have four solid interests right now. I'll go ahead and order a set of covers, and get this started.
I think the fairest way to do the order is by the order that everyone posted to this thread first, so ChrisM will get the first set. I also sent Hawgman a PM to see if he is still interested, and so forth.
I'm guess a few days shipping , so I'll let you all know when the core set comes in, and I'll get them to the pc place the same day.

Maybe you should start a "Vote / Poll" to help keep count of the total for jobs and colors.

Good news, I've got a set of cam covers ordered! As soon as they get here, I'll take them to the PC's place and get them done for Chris. It could be a week, so until then, stay tuned.
And, if anyone can find a set of cam covers used, let me know, I may buy them as well to help speed things up.
The List:
1. Hatchman - "Reflective Chrome" looks like "Satin Aluminum"
2. ChrisM - "Refl. Chrome/Satin Alum" STATUS: cam covers on order from Ford
3. Hawgman - "Refl. Chrome/Satin Alum"
4. 05GT-Bayb- PM'd, waiting for reply.
5. adrenalin- PM'd, waiting for reply.
6. flamin ponyex- PM'd, waiting for reply.
7. Redfire05GT- PM'd, waiting for reply.
8. Eleanor Dreaming- in for sure
9. MTAS - "Refl. Chrome/Satin Alum"
10. MilStang - maybe later
10. Duckman- "Red"
11. nbk13nw- "Red"
Obviously, if someone on the list decides they don't want a set, then it'll just go to the next person. Hopefully, the turn around time and shipping will be swift, so we can get down the list in a timely manner.
Those look awesome. If I got mine done I'd want something close to the sonic blue of the car, however, sorry to say I have to pass. Since installing the shaker it covers most of the covers anyway. If I do anything I'll be taking them off just to paint them myself. If I didn't have the shaker I'd definately go in with you on this deal.

Here is an example of some parts he did in "CandyBlue". This is the color I'm getting my motorcycle rims done in.
James,
Here is a close up of the valve cover he did in gold. Note that this cover has a slight "wrinkled" surface, which has an effect on how refective the coating is. But this will give you a ball park/digitized and resized over again/monitor dependent idea of what "Gold" looks like.

Update: covers in the mail to me, "Powder Coater Dude" (Kevin) has been informed and awaiting their arrival.

Hatchman,
I sent you PMs. Put me down for the Reflective Chrome, like yours. Let me know by PM when & how to pay. I see someone mentioned PayPal. That I can do.
