Spoon was out of stock with no ETA

Had to give Corey and the Team at Two Step Performance a go with their cerakoted valve cover to match the

Watched the vid... it doesn't look like Two Step's version masks off any of the holes so I'm assuming the threads all have cerakote in them. That is one nice thing about Spoon's version, you can see they took much more time in prepping the valve cover before paint.

These go through quite a bit of prep before coating. On the bronze cover I have on my car the threads are not coated. However, as thin as the Cerakote product is, I don't think it would matter regardless. The Spoon covers are certainly nice and well sell those as well but we are happy to offer an option that is both more price efficient and with shorter lead times.

That may be so, but it doesn't really show. It looks like literally nothing was masked (bolt holes, hose connectors, etc).

As Corey stated previously, the cerakote finish is thin. So, it will not matter when it comes to installing the valve cover bolts. As for the hose connectors, it is also fine as it’s very durable and will not flake or chip off when reinstalling the hose(s).

Again, this is a more budget friendly option with significantly lower lead times than Spoon, who currently offers no ETA. We are very confident in the coating and run both of our valve covers (K20 & L15) on our cars.

Budget friendly? It’s a $126 plastic cover you’ve sloppily coated and marked up to $450.

TSP isn’t lying- Cerakote is waay thinner than powdercoat. It will no real effect on tolerances and the unmasked areas are invisible. What weird thing to be concerned about.

And where did I say I was concerned about it? It was a simple observation after yesterday when two forum members made posts about each valve cover.

One looks professionally done and one looks like no care was taken to prep it.
