It cost me less than $50, I took a bunch of stuff. He did 2 sets of valve covers, a MAF, a diff cover, and a few other things for $150. It took him a month, but he mixed up the two sets of covers (different bolt patterns) and it took him another month. The small stuff is more a side job, they have the largest ovens in the area. If you keep it with basic colors he can turn em around in a week!

FRPP recommends putting RTV sealant on both sides in those spots. The gaskets are still re-usable though like I said.
Do you have an 8-rib on that TVS?

Here on LU Powder coating is very expensive. I got a quote over $200 to do them and decided to paint them instead.

After two years, the paint is chipping off. I think the problem was that I did too good of a job prepping them. I got them to the point they were almost polished and then I put 2 coats of metal etching primer followed by 3 coats of 1200 degree engine paint and 2 coats of cngine temp clear coat. they loooked awesome but unfortunately it jsut did not last.

My paint lasted for about a year but is starting to come off. Thinking of getting that set of BBK. They look really good.
