[Shotimes] powdercoating c osts?

[Ian Fisher]

Thanks-I believe Jason Zuress wrote that. His setup
looks good and I may paint some stuff but I do want to
powdercoat some things.

The reason I asked is because I am looking at
purchasing some valve covers that are already
powdercoated and I am wondering if that's even cost
effective.
