#20: Re: painted engine cover Author: Ajo123, Location: MerseysidePosted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 7:59 pm ---- looks great, im thinking of doing mine red. What paint did you use, and would it be possible to get a glossy kind of finish to it rather than it ening up a matt colour?
#21: Re: painted engine cover Author: Dan-, Location: BiggleswadePosted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 6:26 pm ---- nope i just used halfords aegean blue and black and some clear lacquer, so far had not problems, the cover itself doesn't seem to get to hot

i use some gloss lacquer and give it several coats depending on what I'm doing, there's a really good how to on here to get that glossy finish
