Valve covers

[Heart Attack]

was noticing a little oil leak awhile back but never got to where it was coming from. today i found out that both my valve covers are leaking towards the back, so i ordered my new gaskets (75 bucks good lawd) and while i have my valve covers off i wanted to get them repainted. any ideas if i can do this myself without really messing them up? or do they need to be professionally powder coated?

I haven't seen painted ones that have lasted, the valve covers get pretty hot, I'd have them powder coated

Powdered coated is the only way to go

Send them to Justin, he may even have cores already to speed up the process. Nothing matches his coating quality, I shipped all my stuff about 3000 miles for him to do it all, and I have powder coaters 20 minutes from me.
