Jolly spiffing old chap, much like the gloss paint on the intake manifold.

Wasn't trying to evoke such feelings, just trying to show what can be done with some spare time and some baby wet wipes

What did you paint the Inlet manifold with? I used 'halfords' High temperature paint and it recommended I didnt need any primer... If I get a wet rag I could rub it all off... So i'm so careful when working on her as I dont want to smudge the paint...
Gonna be redoing it all soon as advise on paints etc would be great.
Looks spot on too!

you can use most paints on rocker covers/inlets - all rated to around and over 100deg. Looks very nice btw - just need a spanking new expansion tank to match your washer bottle
