Mine cost £15 to do, spoke to a young lad who works in a place local to me, and he said he would do it for £15 cash so i said 'that'll do me' i think it would cost double that normally or i may be wrong

the coating is usually about £20 but add extra for things like acid dipping and sandblasting to get a finish like that.

Don't powder coat it, from someone that sees hundreds of these engines (the guy that works on mine) said that they all warp the rocker cover through the powder coat process. Mine is just painted and has had no problems at all
