Powder Coating

I'm looking to get my valve covers powder coated but what type of business would I even begin to look for to get them powder coated. I tried looking in the phone book but there's nothing. Thanks

Welding shops are a good place to start. Just call and ask, they should point you in the right direction if they do not do it.

look for rim repair shops, as well as custom body shops.
