[T3] Valve covers...

[Keith Park]

Actually depends on the powder coating.  The DIY kits make it hard to get
the powder in tight areas like the wheel rims, the powdercoat I put on the
Stock wheels was a Fail, they are rusting out now... not sure how to get the
stuff back off but Im gonna have to paint them pretty soon before they start
to look real bad.  Powder coat does not do well over ANY kind of rust
eather, if you sandblast better make sure you get it all... right to the
bottom of the pits and often that's impossible.  If not, rust is back!

Jim
The powder coated parts, (and, all of my sheet metal is so detailed), don't
chip, peel or fade.  If this had been widely known "in the day," many more
parts would have had this treatment.  In the covers, oil is easily wiped
out.
Incidentally, all of my Porsche sheet metal is powder coated..lovely stuff.
