Anyone have a pic of a chrome h22 cover on the engine? I'm looking into getting one done.

You're probably thinking of just a polished valve cover. Chrome plating aluminum is generally not a common practice.

I was looking into this company in pa who powdercoats, KeyStone powdercoating. They are on ebay if you search h22 valve covers. They have chrome as one of the options... but dont show it

You might want to get in Kermachromed (ceramic coated then polished) It looks pretty good not as shiny as chrome but close. I sent my heat shield to this place and had it done.

That's how i'd like mine too.. What would the process be for acheiving that look? Lots of sanding with a fine grit?

Alex (alexlude) had a really nice polished valve cover, we ought to track him down.

remove the paint, then sand with a course grit, then finer, then finer, then finer, then rough polishing compound, then medium polishing compound, then a metal polish.

or

find a polisher and pay them about $60 to polish it for you. I polish all my own stuff (except for my alt.) but I have a polishing wheel setup so it doesnt take me as long.
