There is overspray inside, which is what flakes off first.
Yeah I know someone here in Canada that does a very good Cerakote, if you say that works then I will probably take my valve covers to the guy.
I assume you'll need to sandblast the inside and outside of the valve cover then cerakote it completely both inside and outside?
