iv used halfords own primer, paint and lacquer for my rocker, battery and fuse covers. They would have all been fine but i put the rocker cover on while it was still a bit wet and the paint cracked. battery and fuse cover are both fine though

I used Halfords paint on my Air box, Battery cover and fusebox cover and they've held strong, but it has come away a bit on the airbox as I've got a bonnet bra on and it's stuck on to that which is a pain
