Just got my Rocker covers back from the paint shop and just thought I'd let you all have a peek.This Is only part of a bigger job which has had me or should I say Jim Walker take the front timing cover off and remove sheared studs,Alternator refurbished,Sump removed and cleaned and painted,Inlet manifold cleaned and painted,all the pipes In front of heater removed and new hoses fitted all round.New water pump etc. All because I wanted to fit an electric fan!!   |

What's in the lunch box?  It looks great Davie!. It's a bit like redecorating, you start the job and then everything else starts to look tatty and before you know it your painting the Cistine Chapel(two coats). Keep the photo's coming ;D |

Glen,just medication In the lunch box I'm afraid.
Andy,They used Hammerite Satin Gray and then laquered the covers.This will eventually bubble but It should take a long time with the amount of milage I do In a year.

Know what you mean Glen about redecorating;I broke a brake union when doing the back brakes a couple of years ago and that lead to the axle coming out to refurbish as I didn't want to put new brake pipe on top of a tattie looking axle,new springs and and shocks because I didn't want to put old springs and shocks on a great looking axle!
This engine bay Is going to be the best before and after picture ever!!

Nice finish.
I got my p6 rocker cover powder coated instead of painting them.
The finish was great managing to match the colour and only cost about £20.

I found a picture of my rocker cover that I got powder coated. I reckon that the powder coating will last longer than painting. Colin  |
