Camo Powdercoated Valvecover

I was able to coat my D16a6 valvecover in a camouflage pattern,Why? Because I was told it couldnt be done ,not with my equipment and going 4 layers thick.Well I have proven once again that if you think outside the envelope anything is possible.I started with a CASWELL PLATING Coffee Tan as a basecoat ,followed up by a stencil with CASWELL Light Chocolate Brown,followed by a stencil with EASTWOODs Olive Drab and followed by another stencil with ROSEYs Lava Matte Black.The final product came out quite nice and shows that anything that can be cut into vinyl can be put into powdercoat.Racecoat Powdercoating is going out of business ,so any powdercoating needs can be handled by me @o1racing powdercoating.Reach me at o1racing03@aol.com or through the forum here.

That pic of your car sure looked familiar ,this happened to me about a month ago, Ford F250 traveling in the turn lane creamed me as I pulled from the parking lot into the center turn lane and WHAM,he wasnt drunk ,but still about totaled my REX with 299732 on my odometer ,would have hit 300k on this tank .I had just left the pump from filling it up.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I was driving in the left hand lane and leaned down to change the track on my CD player. I looked back up and some guy in a '80s F-150 had come to a dead stop in my lane instead of the center turn lane. I barely even had a chance to brake before I plowed into him. His rear axle was sitting where the hood was supposed to be, the hood was in the windshield and the windshield was all over me. Luckily I walked away with a couple bloody knuckles...and a totalled car

Sorry ,but I got a crappy little camera that just wont take a good shot,I will try to borrow one and get some better pics.
There are literally hundreds of colors of powders out there ,metallics,candies , transparents ,glow in the dark ,you name it .by mixing colors you can come up with thousands of colors ,so matching paint color is an option.
