I had a valve cover done there before. I wasn't very happy with the results - they didn't do ANY prep work on the thing at all. They just coated it and baked it the way it came, resulting in an imperfect finish and lots of dried, flaky, powdery oil residue that I had to meticulously clean out of all the baffles and crevasses after getting it back. Other places I've used have at least blasted and dipped the parts to ensure they're completely clean before coating/baking them.

I had a set of wheels and another valve cover done by a place in MA when I lived up there and they did a quality job. I don't know of and haven't used anyone else except the above mentioned place around here. There are probably a bunch of other places though, check out the Thomas Register?

FYI - I used them less than a year ago, and they did prep my items before powdercoating them. Case in point, the pulleys were black anonidized, and I had them powdercoat them in candy apple red; the anodize coating was completly removed before the powdercoat job.

BTW - The did sort of messed up one of the pulleys powdercoat job, and they redid the job when I brought it to their attention.
