Thanks for the responses. I liked the look of MacDaddy's cover and I took time to talk with a powder coat source. Both my covers had dings that would have been visible even under the powder, whether it be colored or clear.

In actuality, the big problem was that I checked out "SixCylindersOverTexas's" pictures and I was hooked. If you haven't checked out his site you really should. His attention to detail is impressive. I've been assured by the vendor that the repo covers seal up okay, but was advised that you have to add a spacer between the thermostat housing and the block. This gives you the added clearance in the front that it takes to properly seat the cover.

Once again, thanks for your responses.
