Rocker Cover :s
« on: 20 September 2012, 13:08 »
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
