it may cost around $40 or so, but then you would be done with it. i painted mine with some high temp paint from an autoparts store and it stuck fine, but doesn't look as well as i had hoped it would. mainly the spark plug cover is starting to flake off. plus, i tried two things for the valve cover. one, taping off the lettering, pain in the a$$. two, painting the whole thing, then grinding away the letter, also a pita. i used a dremel tool and kept slipping into the painted areas. then had to repaint those areas, but they weren't flush, etc... bottom line, it looks good from a far, but don't get real close.
