SHINY Rocker Cover?

[tej]

Not strictly an 'interior' topic, but...

still unsure what colour to paint the cover, however one thing i do know is that i may paint it a nice deep glossy black, but how do i get the shine? kinda like this -

I'm halfway through another cam cover at the moment. I was going to spray the next one and then cut it back the same as when repairing bodywork and then polish it.

erm.. wanna do another cover? :D

I have only just started this one and at the same time i am repairing/repainting a front bumper and a rear bumper so i don't have much room in the garage at the moment. My ETA ATM is to try to be finished on these parts before spring. Mind you i have had the rear bumper since January:wack:

its not really a major job, i just don't have the time... mind you, it'l probably be a few weeks before i even decide on a colour :wack:

i just did mine by degreasing and flatting it back and spraying with normal paint bout 1 hour max, flat it back spray it, let it dry, repeat 3/4 times let it dry over nite next to rad used touch up pen to do letters(that took as long as spraying it) bolt it back on job done:thumbs:

the previous owner had painted the cam cover bright green :ghey:

i'm struggeling to think of what colour to use i was thinkink back to red the way it should be or gold but im not sure about that :rolleyes:


i'll get a pic up let you's see how it's looking just now

[tej]

I painted it a dark browny bronze but wasnt happy and found a goldier colour and i think i'll stick with it, closest match i could find to the wheels :)

Just need the FMIC with shiny pipework in there, and get some high temp paint for the manifold heatshield to finish it all off :)

[gangsta_goose]

guessing that is a similar colour to what I want to go for... a kind of nickle colour!
does look very VERY gold in the last pic! :D

Little knocks on here does them for you. I am going to get mine done at some point in body colour to match the car

[tej]

Can't complain for £10 and a few hours work :)

i was thinking about getting mine metalized(chrome dipped) cheap just got to know the people

[dazdavies]

i wanna do mine but as said before deciding on a colour is the hardest part
plus dont wanna leave the car with the rocker off for too long
body colour is a good idea
i seen one poss in another thread wich is blue and white matching the samcos wich look realy nice

just been looking about for a spare rocker cover so i can spray that and streight swap but there seems as theres not many about wich is uderstandable

[hellfire]

just keep it black! (i know its only an s13)
