Has anyone got any pictures they could post up of a matt black and a satin black rocker cover. I want to compare what they look like in the engine bay...

Thanks

for a nice durable finish that lasts and doesnt chip so easy, you probably want it powder coated

Satin black and polish anything raised so its nice an shiny :) if it doesn't polish up well you can always use silver UHT Paint/ Lacquer. There is a thread already where someone has done this.
