Anybody know ,approx.how much it is to get the rocker cover chromed ?

I think that Nigel may be able to help there - am sure he did a few for a while but not sure if they were polished etc

I think Barbz does polished ones for £90 on an exchange basis.

I was wondering, is it possible to clean and paint the rocker cover in place, without the need to remove it all? Anyone else has tried it, what do I need if possible?

wouldnt recommend it however it is possible!

yogisdk : Possible but takes a loot of work and patience.
Need to clean it first and then cover all the rest in tape so it does not get paint.

Well i guessed i would have to tape it all not to get paint in some weird places <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> But what to use to clean it? And is it really gonna be that hard to do it without removing?

You will get it painted alot quicker if you remove it. Not worth the hassle whilst fitted.

Also depends if your painting it with a brush or aerosol. If an aerosol, you best cover the whole car in paper, spray over paint will get anywhere and everywhere <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

the only thing i took off was the spark plug cover

Guys would cleaning my engine bay with my steam wall paper stripper be a bad idea? If i remove the "plate" that held against the wall then I get a narrow steam blast from the tube. Obviously it would need ot be kept away from the electrics, but appart from that would it do any damage tot he plastics?

I've used a 3 bar household steam cleaner, using the fine nozzel. I found it not as effective as I thought it may be. I used spray engine degreaser and then steam which worked quite well and I've had no problems.

Hey joel is that actual paint or did you sand it??
Looks quite nice!!

i sprayed the spark plug cover ( easy to take off) then sanded the rest with wet & dry, then polish with autosol

Why even try to paint it in-situ? Takes less than 30 minutes to remove and the gasket + o-rings cost almost nothing. Also would make the job so much easier.

I cleaned and painted my rocker cover using a wire wheel for the drill, and then engine enamel
