   Cheaper to buy a second hand one and get it shot blasted or sprayed.

   thats a pretty good price tbh, i got a second hand one from a scrapyard... £10 plus £6.99 for halfords high temp engine paint... painted it red, looks brand new (plus £5 for gasket from GSF )
   if you've got the spare time and the patience, do it yourself.. will work out cheaper and you can do it any colour you like
