This is the Candy blue we do:

 

Mike how much to do one for me in gloss black? asuming i can find another cover

 

Cheers Mike

Can you get them done in black or a colour near to Mallard Green if poss?

 

Spadge,
The Candy finishes are Ł70 + the cost of the machining or you can polish yourself. I'm not sure about the black without checking, as the powder "may" be cheaper, but at least you know a worse case scenario....

The high cost is due to the amount of time it takes to mask all the bits off that you don't want the powder coating to adhere to. If you wanted it all one colour, it would be considerably cheaper.

 

I'm sure I saw a Candy finish which was similar to Mallard, will check when I pick Stu's up later this week.....

 

Don't they just paint the whole thing Mike and then skim off the bits on the top and polish them? Can't see any need for masking
Get me a price for black please

 

Cheers Mike, can ya let me know please, also with a price including remachining Cheers

 

Mike, surely you can coat the whole lot then skim it back to metal on the top surfaces??

Jules,
I am just concerned that the finish will not give such a good edge and that the machining might chip the finish on some points of the edges. I obviously dare not experiment with a customer's cam cover to confirm this - you want to volunteer yours? .

 

Sounds ok to me mate
Don't mind being used as a guinee pig for non sexual purposes of course

 

Excellent - obviously you know I will look after you - I'll just lube the machine up ready for when you are .

 

Lol i'll pass on that cheers
Back to these covers whats the lead time from me posting it to getting it back all bufty

 

Mike, just use a large belt sander on the face, should come out minty

 

Jules,
Two weeks max, usually quicker.

Phil,
You cannot do that, as the inner bead (that is coated) is the same height as the exposed metal flat areas, so would also end up without it's coating . Just ask PON, he fucked his up by trying to do this with a sander . Even masking it all off and using one of those Black and Decker Mice takes a good few hours - it is more economical to machine in labour costs.

 

I got mine done in metallic state blue for Ł45 inc VAT, delivery and the Cover! A record?

Pics to come soon!

 

Yes that is a record, as good condition screw top cam covers can go for more than that .

 

This was a zetec rocker cover though powdercoated and delivered... bargain and with a stainless plug cover looks superb!!

 

They're common as muck and don't need any machining .

 

yep! still think i got a good deal... you will see when i eventually pull my finger out ans post pics of ma car on here

 

IM BACK!!!! SORRY ILL REPLY IN A BIT TO ALL THOSE PPL WHO HAVE BEEN AFTER ME

yes im still doing the cam covers and ill post pics up very shortly alone with prices etc

thanks gaz

 

Get it right Mike!

I had the top skimmed, and it came out with a poor finish.

The candyapple blue is the BOLLOX though!

 

Gaz, prices would be pukka cheers Ive seen a couple of cams you've done before in previous posts and they do look smart

In Mallard Green on gloss black if possible?

 

fook gaz he gay

 

and you would know how exactly big boy
