whats paint is best to use to paint the rocker cover?

HT paint?

does it have to be ht paint? can can i use etch primer?

if it was me i would just get it powder coated it only cost me £35 to have mine sand blasted acid dipped and coated

I used normal hammerite rattle can stuff on my last car. It worked fine for me!

i might use etc primer too... or i just thought... i need some other bits tomorrow from the motor factor, i could get some engine block paint...

Trevor (user name B7) is the person to talk to.He has the patience to prepare and paint rocker covers and inlet manifolds to an incredibly high standard.Me? I just wave the HT matt black rattle can over them,then wet n dry the raised ribs to a nice shine Snag is,M20's put out so much oil mist that you need to be under the bonnet most days just to keep the thing clean.

but surely, pianing it will help it look half decent.

i used normal satin black with primer and its fine.

any car paint with lacquer works
have a look at this thread ...one of many
