Painted Valve Covers

Has anyone painted there valve covers if so I would like to see pictures? Want to paint mine just want to check out some pictures. Better yet are there any aftermarket covers preferably chrome or some type of color that stands out.

What engine do you have? Where are you sending your manifolds? I would like to have the same thing done.

I used to paint mine. Never lasted. It's now powder coated. See my Cardomain site.

Would a paint shop do powder coating? If so is it pricy?

I doubt an ordinary paint shop would do it. It's completely different equipment. Usually powder coat shops do only that. I paid $70 total for having it sand blasted and coated.

That's not too bad on the wallet I'm going to have to break out the yellow pages.
