No problem, mines a 180 so it's a plastic cover, hence the plastic primer (after lightly sanding it down with 800 and then1200 grit wet n dry), obviously use the apropriate primer for whatever surface you're painting though.

are you painting the plastic part on the engine or the metal rocker cover?

yeah hammerite would do it, but the last one i did i used VHT as the primer, 2-3 coats of that ad the colour and then the laquer. Worked great. Was still looking bright and bubble/blemish free after 2 years lol

VHT paint is quality, just a bit more pricey.
