A bit of searching hasn't revealed the answer, how much have people paid for a good quality and durable refurb on their cam covers?

And whilst I'm at it what is a sensible price for a cover requiring a refurb? A dig through the classifieds shows some 04-06 covers at £50-60 but there's one for sale at the moment for £100.

Trying to decide whether it's cost effective to pay for a professional refurb on a used cover or if buying a new cover is a better option. The cam cover is less accessible on my car so I don't want do a DIY job and see it flaking after a few months.

Thanks in advance

Get a new one, Honda only charge £520 + VAT.

I did notice that he's on the lookout for F20 covers so I doubt he's got one to px

Interesting might send mine off rather than have a do myself

Matt Scarbro

Sounds sensible for a good job, thanks.

Ben, is that your business?

Do you have examples of the durability of your work?

Any input as to the normal price for 04-05 covers needing a refurb?

Do these guys sandblast the rocker cover before painting?

Spooner doesn't - it's a chemical strip

BenRNBP

No, I'm not Spooner I did strip my cover myself and get a local spray shop to do it - most of the work is in the prep so was able to get a pretty good finish but nowhere near the attention to detail you get with Spooner.
