Called central mass powder coating and they're asking $350 and a week to coat the two valve covers on my 540i, which seems extremely high considering lots of folks claim to have it done for more like $150
what other options are there?
Looking for an e39 Touring black carpet set, including the rear cargo cubbies and side sections!
ALSO looking for 540i 6speed manual transmission sets (2001+ pedals with switches, driveshaft, gearbox), for the 6speed swap! Probably not for a while....

I have had good luck with Western Mass Power Coating on Boston Post Road in Wilbraham. I had an E30 valve cover and intake manifold blasted and crinkle coated there, the valve cover high spots fly cut on a milling machine as well as the high spots on the intake manifold and I think it was around $350 total. They did say that it took them a bit of time to set up and level the intake so they could fly cut it. Very good customer service.

ended up going to New England Industrial Coatings Inc, around the holidays
ended up being $350 for both valve covers and upper timing covers, and took about a week, they did an excellent job though
according to them, something like 2/3rds of the labor was just cleaning off the magnesium valve covers, they're awful to work with
