So spent the day sorting out my rocker cover. Stripping the old crappy paint job off, cleaning it up and repainting it.
This was the mock up that my other half made for me in photoshop..
This is what it looked like before. The paint was horrible and it would rub off on your hands if you touched it. Honestly not sure what paint it was, it wasn't flaking or anything but if you were handling the strut brace or the rocker cover the black / red would come off on your hands..
White spirit and steel wool later..
Base coat to clean up the surface (using anodise paint).
Then masked down the middle and sprayed the red anodise paint.
Masked up the red bits very carefully to get dead straight lines. And out came the black paint. Then Lacquer over the top.
Let it dry for 2 hours fitted bit back on and took the car for a blast to cure the paint off.
Thinking tomorrow about doing my intake manifold all red. Bit dubious about removing it though as I dont think I'll be able to get new injector o-rings, or a inlet to head gasket (if I need one).
and these are the paints..
