rising sun rocker cover

as title says im now working in a body shop and am going to have a go at doing above will update with photo's if all goes well can do more and any colour on an exchange basis

I would definately be interested in a customised roca cover. Wot paint do you use? I hope it does'nt flake off after some time

i would bw interested to at the right price

dunno yet obviously going to test them first its either standox 2pac or dupoint water based gonna cain shit loads of lacer on aswell

Think it needs to be special heat proff paint m8

i'll look into it mate the one i have on my car atm is standard paint and has been fine

how many miles and how long tho?

have u tried touching ur cam cover after a drive, its hot and wud need proper paint.

about 10k 3 track days and i have felt the heat many times and it still loves it

bare in mind im taking down to metal 2 coats of primer 2 coats of paint maybe 4 and 2 or more coats of lacquer

When I did mine I took it back to metal with some nitro, couple of coats of etch primer, few coats of the heat paint, baked it in the oven at 100deg, and a few coats of proper engine laquer and baked it again
The trick is to do it when the mrs is out

they look shite when they flake thats y i polished mine, and i think it looks pretty good

i agree mines bare polished metal at the moment and i looks smart i've always fancied a rising sun one will probably look gash but meh and cheers Gary will look into the engine laquer

Mine is made by gunk, iv had it on there for year and half, no flakes bubbles, just a couple of chips from workin on the car over that time
I used it on the inlet and plug cover aswell, still looks like new

I used folia tec brake caliper paint.
Been on my calipers for about 10 years no probs at all. So i did the rocker cover with it last year and it still looks good so far.

It's all in the prep i have been in body repairs (painter) for over 25 years
bare metal
2k etch/wash coat
2k high build primer
Either water base coat then 2k Lacquer
Or 2k solid colour
No need for heat resistant paint just keep the 2k paint to a minimal thickness ie don't load it up to much .(chipping will be the only problem)
I have a show car (mini sorry)(and old scooters) i have painted rocker covers /sumps/ blocks/ rad covers..etc they have been done for over 5years plus covered 1000's of miles never had a problem.
