Default Powder Coating

Hey guys,
A while back I was looking and asked for some recommendations for powder coating. I think everyone recommended Alleykat but I can't remember. I sent him a PM with no response yet. I'm replacing my valve cover gasket tomorrow and need to get my valve cover repainted while I have it off especially since I'm off work the next few days. Any other recommendations on a place to go if I don't hear back from him in time? I'm located in the memorial city area.

Thanks,
Tim!

If you can't get a hold of Alleykat, hit up a shop called Avior Performance. They're a relatively new shop, but I know a few of the guys that started it, and they do good work. They also do full details and paint correction. Their powder coating always looks stellar. http://www.aviorhouston.com/

AlleyKat did awesome work on my wheels, but if you need a quick turnaround time, look elsewhere. He's crazy busy.

Avior is Alex's shop.

I have his number if you need to contact him. His number changed kind of recently.

Thanks a lot guys! I got in touch with Alex thanks to Matt! They are powder coating everything as we speak.

One more question that I have. Any good place for exhaust repair? I have an Invidia and the pipes are cracking again along with an annoying rattle from one of the canisters. Once again, something close to memorial city would be great!

Thank again for everyone's help.
Tim!

It was $60 for the cover but went up to $100 since I wanted the spark plug cover painted except the letters. Really cheap for being down the street plus 24 hour turn around!

For exhaust, I recommend CVT Designs. They are off of Little York. They did a great job on my exhaust, and they're no strangers to modified and custom stuff.
