Default Had my valvecovers hydrographic dipped(PICS)

So I sent my valve covers out to a guy in Michigan to have them Hydrographic dipped,Check out the results.Its the same process that they use to put the camo on gun stocks and what have ya. I cant wait to receive them next week and install them.I also have his information if anyone on here is interested in getting some stuff done,he can do just about anything. Heres his website.http://chopsmitty.com/

That does look cool, does it look like real CF in real life? Definitely beats the cheap look of fake carbon fiber lol How's the process done? Similar to powder coat? Were those chrome valve covers to begin with? Im curious because I have chrome covers and I dont think I'm going to leave them chrome, just not sure what I want to change them to yet

Iam sure Ill get some more stuff done,it looks awesome....of course Adder would have something negative to say. I wont discuss his prices,he is an easy guy to get ahold of and was easy to work with. It took about 3 weeks from the time I shipped them to him and he got them done,hes a busy dude,but its worth it. Go on youtube and type in Hydrographic Dipping,it will show you,its a cool process. The valve covers were the flat black ones with the ford racing part that was red. Like I said,Greg was an awesome guy to work with.I will say the price to have it done,was alot cheaper than I expected.
