What is it you want to know.

If it is how to respray then all you need to do is remove the paint that is on it just nowthen clean the rocker cover and spray on B+Q BBQ paint and place it in your oven until it is dry hten using fine sand paper sand off the "BMW MPOWER" and the lines where the HT lead rail goes.

The BBQ paint is goood for about 450oC
