Not too much... most Electroplaters (chromers) offer a chemical strip & bead polish service, then just find your self a paint shop. Maybe $250 all up?

i havent payed my mate for it yet it mite be £40 ish? the paint was a tester that there paint distributor brough in as a sample and they kept a bit when it was taken back so thats how i got the paint for the inlet mani fold its a rainbow sparkel/metal flake and the throttle body was heat resistant paint and i just sprayed glitter spray on to it
