KiNK43 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's looks really smart mate. What paint did you use??Simoniz engine enamel. I used it a few years back for my rocker cover and it's still there no chips and shiny. Bit awkward to use. Loads of thin coats needed for a good finish. But it pretty much looks like it came that way. Nice finish and texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 does look well good that... like you say it's like a factory finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cheers chaps. It's spray paint. I just masked off all the areas that are machined. Cut neatly round them with a scalpel. Bout 5-6 coats. Used a fan heater between coats seemed to help it thin out to keep the texture of the metal underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
