very very good

and very reasonably priced.

but then i guess it depends who you are and how often you use them.

for an idea.

A cam cover, inlet, sump, thermostat, and all engine brackets (i.e power steering, alternator) blasted and coated in "special" paint

cost me £70

which i think is pretty damn good
