I had my W-5 M1 clear coated... I didnt see any issues
with it but it did yellow some with fuel(spilling
fuel during jet changes)

Looks like most had no problems with the powder coating, whats a fair price? He said $25.00 Thats seems fair.

$ 25.00 seems fair to me. I would have guessed higher.

I was going to polish mine but decided against it when I found out how long it was going to take me. I now just remove it every year and run it through the glass bead box to clean it up 
But I do like the look of the ceramic coating 
If you look its only polished on the tops of the
runners(shiney part) the rest is sand blasted and the
whole thing cleared.... in the second pic you can
see the line where the shine ends on the runner
(I'm lazy so I didnt polish the whole thing)
