Powder Coating...How long and how much?
I want to get a few parts(calipers/valve covers) Powder coated. Has anyone done this? If so what was the cost and how long did it take them to return the parts?
This is my DD so i can't drive it without the parts i want coated...

I called a local shop.. and to get my extra set of Cam covers coated in a color similar to Vista Blue.. they wanted $250.. and that was with me dropping them off & picking them up!
Needless to say, they're still not powder coated..

Some of the folks have painted them and they look real sharp for the cost of a rattle can. Just saying.

I've heard that the rattle can jobs are good for about 6m to a year. I'm pretty sure I have to remove the blower to put the DS cam cover on and it's not something I want to do anymore then I have to.

Since yours is a DD, the best approach is to pick up used/take-off parts and have them coated. I found a semi-local guy that does PC'ing on the side and he quoted me like $50 for a set of cams covers.
