You mean like this:



Here is the 'before' and 'after' of the two rotor housings. Miraculous what glass bead can do...

Done professionally? About $300 for the front cover and rotor housings. If you do the plates as well, expect to be around $600 total. I'm sure you could find a back-yard powdercoater that could save you a lot of money, but if any mistakes are made it could just end up looking bad and/or cost you more in the end.

Mine is a fabulous blend of Road Debris Brown, Engine Oil Black, with a dash of Coolant Green/Orange. Resulting is this hideous mess

These are a couple of engines I have powdercoated. If you are really serious, PM me when you get ready to rebuild.
