Ok so yesterday i made a few phone calls to some powder coaters, nearest one to me i could find was in Peckham, south london, so he gave me a price on my rocker cover £80 in matt red or gloss red.
I am going to do this but just for reassurance will the paint crack or peal will it once the engine warms up ?
cheers guys

also if any one knows powder coaters thats near to east london, please say so, or even kent sides :)

planning on buying one, just looking for the right one, i need AUM

that paint looks good however if it was me, first I would research what temp the rocker can get to, then I would buy paint with a decent name to it. Remember to seal it with "engine laccer"

why use a spare?? i done mine whilst it was on the car :grin:
disconnect the coil packs, and remove oil cap
plug holes with news paper
cover rest of bay with sheets
spray away!!!
although i should have prepped it better :embarrassed:

plug with newspaper is very risky, its not much work to get the cam cover off and its so much easier once its removed.
prep is always key to a good job, spend time degreasing every little corner and the finish will be well worth your time.
