Have them ceramic coated. Looks great but still has that polished look.
Embee performance is the place to go!

Embee is good, sometimes. Heard a lot of smaller jobs go to shit. Long turn around times, lost parts, mega high pricing etc. then again that's just hearsay. I did call about ceramic coating my headers, $250 to strip and $500 to coat. Guess I didn't talk to the right guy. But other then that, the company is doing something right...

Sounds like somebody got a foot to the ass on that one. Shouldnt cost more that 300. Talk to owner Jeff and let him know it's for a boat deal. He will hook you up!

You heard that too....
Glad it wasn't just me.
I've never had anything done by them but they do have a good reputation.

I was blown away. All good though, and they definitely have a reputation.

As for Jeff, I asked for him but he was busy.

Heard About a place in the ad area. I remember a fellow member taking his headers in and got them done. Great price and again from what I remember they also do powder coating. Wish he would chime in. He his profile pic is Jack Nicholson. Pretty sure that's how you spell it lol.

Embee did my headers and I don't remember the cost exactly, but I know they were less than $400.00.  I think $300.00 sounds right.  As far as I can tell, they did a very nice job, but they're black and I run them dry quite a bit so.....

you could shine up those valve covers fairly easy with an angle grinder and a polishing wheel and rouge, or a bench grinder with a wheel.  mothers or any paste polish and an old sock is gonna take DAYS. the paste waxes are more for maintaining shine on something thats already polished unless you like torturing yourself for hours.
