Recently there have been several posts on this subject and "secret" methods used to accomplish it. This got me to thinking about a process used in aircraft to apply a very thin coating of aluminum, called ivadization, or ion vapor deposition ("IVD"). Many years ago I saw an ivadizer at work and it would seem that it could put a new layer of aluminum on an old part.
I don't even know if its possible to do a valve cover or such, but is anyone aware of the use of this process to re-skin an old aluminum casting?
