[Bob_S]

alright mate, I think halfords sell hi temp red paint, caliper paint would do the same job.

I can polish up the lines on the top for a small amount

[Rich_W]

could the whole inlet manifold and rocker cover be polished mate??

[E30Mark]

Is that Karan's old 318iS? if so then i had the rocker cover powder coated for him in red.

I had mine done in silver at the same time...

[BenE30]

it looks so sweet really think that i will be doing something along them lines!!

how much is it generally to get something like that powder coated??

From memory it was about Ԛ£25, grit blasted and then powder coated. I've got a spare rocker cover if you need one...

What company did that for you mate that price sounds really reasonable would be worth getting my inlet manifold and rocker cover done!!

i am watching it mate!! think i will be making a bid on it but don't you think Ԛ£15 P&P is a little steep!!

[BenE30]

me too i still want a few bits doing!!

[Dan318-is]

15 quid aint that steep

i posted a small mk2 brake servo weight 1.8 kilos that cost 11 quid

its quite heavny, needs protection to stop paint getting chipped and needs to be packagaed

royal mail pricess are silly im afraid dude!

[BenE30]

Might be tempted when i get home to have a bid on it!! think it would look pretty cool under the bonnet i think i would need the lines polished though!

[Ratfink]

We do engine enamel at work..its about Ԛ£7 a can

[BenE30]

won that rocker cover only 19.99 so thats not bad to have a spare aswell!!

[E30Mark]

Ummm, that red cover looks 100% like the one i did for Karan... i know his car got sold onto a chap called lee who wrote it off in no time at all, can't remember who had the engine from it...

If anyone is interested, i do not recommend the company who did the powder coating on my rocker cover, the job is great, but they took 7 weeks! had every excuse in the book for not having it done, what they didn't know is that i knew someone who worked there i knew the truth behind there lousy company... i was in no hurry anyway as luckily i had a spare cover.

[BenE30]

want to find one around the North Wales area that i could either send my inley manifold off too or take myself want that one done now aswell!!
