Anybody in Atlanta with a spare 1.8L valve cover?
I'm going to powdercoat mine but I don't want to have to rush it. Anybody have a spare from a parts car/motor I could borrow for a week or so? I could powdercoat it too before I gave it back as payment.
Thanks
Brian

Really far away from fairburn. Hamilton Mill. You might could meet me for lunch one day in Atlanta (chamblee--P'tree Ind/Clarimont Rd area).
Do you do the 'coating yourself? I might have something to do. Also I have a friend who wants to get an 01 cover coated. I should have one of those too in my garage.

no, I don't do messengers except windows messenger which I have to use at work.
I don't have any parts to be 'coated right now, but probably will want some things done before I get my new engine together. That stuff is all in bags in boxes right now, and I don't feel like dealing with it for a while.

I'm more than 1 hr away because of traffic. Remember they'll have half of the connector shut down all weekend due to the resurfacing project. Yes, I work in Chamblee, usually take lunch around noon give or take.

Ben - Thanks! I'm trying to decide if I want to expose the gears or not. I think I may leave the cover as is though.
quadmasta - Just let me know. Mine is currently painted. However, while I have it off to do the timing belt, I may give it a shot myself, which would also negate needing a spare, and having to go through another gasket.
Also, what does your Miata look like? I'm frequently in Fairburn in the evenings as I love to eat at Oz Pizza.

If they've got it, I can order it and do it in that color.

Hey, if you're just testing out stuff.... i'm not too concerned with quality, besides, i'm not "mr. show car". I went through that website's color and tried to find something that you would be able to use the left-overs and i decided on Gun Metal Blue Metallic Powder Coating
There are simply too many colors though.... i live most of the blues, the lava black, some of the mirror-transparant colors...
