got a set of cam covers and have rubbed them down so they are lovely and smooth. instead of sprayign them with a rattle can i was thinking about getting them powder coated.due to be able to get a better finish, but am worried about damaging the seals. when things get powder coated dont they heat them up? if this is safe to do i will send them off with my inlet and fuel rail to get done.
