It shows a Make Offer option. You could try to get it for less money. The listing doesn't say if it will coat Kodachrome.

Anybody with some understanding of the industry will see at the photographs that this is no coating but a casting line. This may be hairsplitting but will turn out to be essential.

Casting in the photochemical world means casting a plastic, made fluid by solvents or heat, on a metal belt or wheel to cool it down or evaporate the solvent, then stripping it off to gain the film base.
