blue anodized coil/rocker cover - yes or no ?

well i'v been doing alot of rocker/coil covers for other forum members and i have a red rocker/coil cover thats 3 years old on my car and was wanting to do something a bit different so i had some time during lunch and i thort i'd get on with it , was hopeing to have my blue water pipes from the group buy here before brooklands so i could have had it all fitted but it looks like they will turn up after brooklands . have also sprayed both my front and rear strut braces electric blue so blue is the theme for the car .



still have the rocker cover to do but i'm happy with the way the coil cover has turned out so fingers cross for the rocker cover , i know its not going to be to everybodys taste but i would like some feedback before i do the rocker cover .

Looks I love it

Looks pretty good to me! I like.

Very nice mate,i love that colour.

so thats 3 - 0 so far , i still have your rocker/coil cover here for you magooagain when your ready

Yes mate,just making plans today. Should be about the second week of May, i will bell you. Cheers i wont forget

Maybe interesting to see how it contrasts with a polished rocker cover? Than it all the same colour! I noticed this which I think works very well. Check out other items for sale.

i have two polished rocker covers just incase i messed the first one up but i was thinking having the rocker cover blue anodized and polished lettering with a polished coil cover and polished oil filler cap as i have a spare coil cover and can swap them around .

Would look very nice nismo

Thumbs up from me. Another chap on here (DavidL ?) has an anodised one in red.

In fact, I think I should have one, it suits the look of the new style Fosters tin completely

your nuts T

4 - 0 so far .

I know

Does that mean you'll paint me a nice new style Fosters ring pull colour blue rocker cover, ready for Brooklands, very cheap

Will give you one back in return (a rocker cover that is, not cracked)

Will even give you a coil pack cover too, if you've done a good job

i would love too T but i'm very busy at the moment and may not get mine done in time for brooklands but i could have one done for spa but it won't be cheap

that photo has made me make my mind up now so i'll get some pic's up when i have finished mine in anodized blue .

Nah, didn't think it would be cheap and I know how much work goes into them.

Will probably end up doing mine again myself, but was worth a try

How much heat wrap
I don't read japanese, but that must be one tuned 20VT
Oh, and yes anodised blue would look nice
Not sure about the red though

How much to do me a red one of these mate?

to save you money ,you get the polished rocker/coil cover and then i'll give you a price as thats where all the hard work is and if i had to do it you couldn't justify the cost , sorry alex

Eagle eyed viewers might have spotted my new rocker cover in the background...

I hate it, looks like poo
































Only joking Looks bang tidy in that blue.
7-0

All that effort, pfffft, even my broom handle is colour coded to my engine bay

Iain,
really like the blue. I have a shiny blue rocker cover on the Moon (just a polished coil cover though) and I think it looks fine,

See you at Brooklands,
Tim

WOW looks fab...what the process on making the blue anodized rocker cover or a diffrent colour? I think you should make a how to...


Good job

Looks very nice anodized aluminium deals better with the heat iirc.

Like it

Will look cool under the bonnet

It's rubbish mate.







Can I buy it?

Ian I know a good sand blaster if your interested

i'm still 50/50 so it may come to that mario

had some spare time over the weekend after helping MrC fix the niggles on his tuscan and i have finished the rocker cover atlast -



looks alot better in the flesh as its hard to show the finish but i'm happy with the way it has turned out .

Very nice

well i haven't seen these for myself so my opinion is useless, but if they're anything like they look in the pictures they are fantastic!

Beautiful good work

looks well good

That looks great mate

I like the red version too

Looks brilliant nismo

looks awesome

Lovely!

Iain,
looks really nice - makes my painted effort look amateur (which it is ),

Tim

Nismo, you are a Coupe tart!

p.s. That table is in some serious need of teak oil

lol , the table needed doing about 3 years ago but i'm now going for the weathered look

Nismo, you dont want that on your car mate.

seriosuly, that deserves to be on a metalic sprint blue coupe!

pm me a price of how much the sexual rocker cover is please!

its to good for a sprinty you maybe in luck as i have a second polished rocker/coil cover thats ready to be done but it all depends on the price we'll talk on thursday mate .

also comes in all blue -

Arrggghh, stop it!

I'd love to do this to mine

Much better all in blue Ian!

Mate the quality is blinding!

A red rocker and polished coil cover would be lovely on my Moonie Plus!

which lacquer do you use Nismo? I spent ages doing mine and just before refitting I got some carb cleaner on it and all the "heat proof engine lacquer" ran and peeled

this cover hasen't been lacquered but i have use the petrol resistant lacquer from halfords on other covers that i have done with no problems .

Cheers I might give it a go; I used Gunk engine lacquer and like I say it dissolved when a bit of carb cleaner landed on it. How pants is that?

Did you read the tin? Some chemical retardant lacquers require that they are baked to cure them before the lacquer is chemical resistant...

i have never heard or used Gunk engine lacquer and as Mario said some paints need to be bake for the cemical resistance to start to work .

Orgasmic

Hi guys, That's my car, btw, it's in Chinese, not Japanese The broom stick is because of the carbon bonnet, the inner part where the bonnet strut connects are not strong enough to withstand the compression force when the bonnet is closed, so I've bled the gas inside of them.

For me, the cost of just anodizing the spark plug cover is around 30 quids, the whole rocker cover is around 60.

The blue looks mint, but I wondering what it'll look like in orange

Cheers,
