Anyhow, just typing outoud for those that have had the VC PC. How's it been for you on the finish ?
I'm debating whether to even head the route of redo PC on the VC .
I know magnesium is a b1tch to get right on prep. I went over the details with the PC. He's done wheels and calipers and such in the past for me.....
We were clear on the prep since it's mag.
I dunno if it's worth the effort to do a round 2..

I'll just say that if its done right, then the finish lasts without bubbling. I have had 4 sets of valve covers done in PC all by the same powder coater. The oldest on in service is going on 6 years and still in perfect shape. The newest set of valve covers was done 2.5 years ago on the 4.6is and is still in great shape. I would suspect that the magnesium valve covers in your case were not properly prepped (outgassed long enough to clear the impregnated oil).
