Jeez 10m bolts, was it on stilts ? :wacko: lol

what paint did you use ??

[Mr ZS180]

Looks good dude.

I think I will do mine after seeing that.

Did you mask the v6 sticker or peel it off and reapply?

yeah only done the top of the cam cover as u cant c the rest so pointless painting it

its quite simple really u need 2 ensure the surface is clean from any dirt give it a light sand 2 get it smooth
give it a coat of plastic primer this ensures the paint sticks and wont peal off under heat
leave that 2 dry then used a double coat spray paint the colour u wanna use i used 3 tins and that done what u can c as well as fuse box cover ashtry in the dash and the surround on my stereo
max of ?20

well worth it transforms the whole look.
yeah just covered it in masking tape and peeled of once completly dry

mmmm think a darkish green and the stripes on the cover in red seems like a good idea me thinks... never done this so where is best to get the paint from?

If you dont need a perfect colour match then go to bnq or homebase or something as you will pay twice as much from Halfrauds!
