Another "Sheela Powdercoated" VC topic

[Joliesa Lepp]

I told her to surprise me, and she did!!! hehe, I think it's perfect (Love the texture, and it has the perfect amount of gloss... hehe!)
I feel special, my very own colour.







What do you guys think ?

[Brett Haviland]

NICE!!  top notch work again!

i always wondered tho that cuz the area where the oil cap seal sits has a textured PC on it... will there be issues with it sealing?

[Sheela krasnuik]

No, it doesn't interfere with the seal.  On this one, the opening has a smooth finish to it. I didn't texture it. I used to mask off this area on all valve covers as kinda a trademark that I did.

I think I did yours Brett with it masked off.  

[Nathan Craft]

now that's some amazing workmanship, if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost? i wouldn't mind doing something kinda simmilar to my mitsu cover.

[Lucas Reid]

i wana get something like this done
the used engine i got as some colour missing

[Maurits Vos]

Awesome work, as always Sheela

Joliesa - I bet you're going to be pretty fricken excited when you get this in the mail!


What's the colour's name?

[Joliesa Lepp]

"Jolie Black Ebony"

and for anyone interested about $120 for powdercoating... not sure of shipping costs, but I highly recommend Sheela.

On another note, thanks to Tyle Saunders, as this is apparently his old VC.

[Ryan Singh]

That is pretty fuckin' hot...as much as I like to be a fool on here; Sheela is definitely great at what she does!

[CamWeiss]

Oh, man, that looks good.

Can't wait until I've got some extra $ to get mine done.

[Brett Haviland]

yeah on mine the part of it is masked off... with the slots missing on it for the metal clips to slide through...

im pretty sure the textured part is painted over where the seal would rest... (i think, not sure tho)



should i remove the powder coating from that area where the rubber seal sits? or just see if it seals up fine first?

[Sheela krasnuik]

It will seal, promise.  If it doesnt then it will be the only one out of many that I have done that didnt seal.
If you start grinding down the coating you will break the seal between the aluminum and the coating, this will cause you more problems than its worth.  I would have to strip it and re-coat if contaminants got under the coating. 

[Brett Haviland]

ahh i see okie dokie! 

i still need to get around putting it on my 93 colt!

[Sy Haw Wong]

Damn.  I got last year's valve cover fashion ~!!

[kimfederico]
