IN EVO Spotted Thread
I think thats too cheap. I'd rather have them remove the entire finish on the wheel, clean it with solvent, pre bake it, coat and then final bake. That entire process is worth way more than $40 IMHO. Don't skimp. Also make sure this company knows that they are dealing with forged magnesium...
Whats that?......Thats the sound of my ***** across your face!
But really. I hope they are a really reputable business. Have to heat the wheels very slowly and gradually. Don't want to thermally shock them and create little cracks or fissures.

The OEM valvecover on the 4G63 Evos is cast magnesium... As far as I know thats the only big use of magnesium on the Evo.
Actually, the 8's and 7's valvecovers are magnesium as well. Mine's an 8, a 2003 at that, and my valve cover (which i just got coated its badass!) is Magnesium, hell it has a (Mg) cast into the top right corner...

I've just been hit by whatever nick got hit by my headgasket just went on the list of parts
Headstuds , new head gasket, might as well get new valve springs retainers & maybe valves, water pump, bal shaft delete, timing belt, I think that sums it up any thing I'm missing ? Or suggestions trying to keep it around a grand
