Bit of advice, wet and dry the surface first to get it perfectly smooth, you need to get rid of all the pitting then you will get a mirror finish. Well worth the effort and dare I say quite satisfying to do!! Dave

I think you could do the whole lot in a day or 2 days max from start to finish. Saying that I do think your painting covers looks the bizz!! But I prefer the polished look! Dave

Before After - Option 1 After - Option 2 I prefer the contrast of the silver coilpack cover, but what does everyone else think? It certainly makes a huge difference to the engine bay . I've also had a inlet manifold done in silver, and have plans for my spare plenum to be done in satin black to match the rocker cover. Might have to do something with the lettering on the rocker though, as it looks a bit too subtle at the moment . Phil

Here are a few shots of mine following the recent engine rebuild, when I took the chance to have a few powder coated bits fitted : Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Thanks to Pinin for the coil-pack cover, which looks rather smart with the black I think. The rocker cover, plenum, inlet manifold, fuel and strut brace are all my own work (well, with a little help from a local powder coater for the first three ) Phil

Anonymous Unregistered A	That was a bit of a victim of my engine failure to be honest . When the coolant system was pressurised by the engine it blew up like a balloon . To be fair to Pro Alloy, it did not split at all, but I have decided to revert back to the standard one for the time being. It is still serviceable, so I may well go back to it when I finally get my engine sorted out! Phil
