depends what you painted it with...if you used HT paint and it has been treated ( baked) you should have no probs

Just make sure you degrease the cover with white spirit or meths before you try painting it.

Oh sorry I read that wrong, you got oil on top of the paint? In that case just clean it off really well, it shouldn't make any differance.

its the participation that counts, not the amount of work!! without that little bit of rubbing i did, you'd have a little patch that wasn't done, and it would look shit!!!
