hi I am going to paint my rocker cover and a few other bits and pieces silver under the bonnet of my xr3i to freshen it up a bit dose anyone recommend a certain paint or colour silver to use, and also can you buy a full factory sticker kit ie the warning stickers ect for your engine bay.
Thanks Michael

 

i painted mine moondust silver from halfords, looks ok. stickers you can get on ebay i imagine

 

Stratos silver works well too, used on my inlet manifold:

 

Thanks for the help will the paint need to be heat proof or will any paint do.
Thanks Michael

 

Finally got my rocker cover done I had to do it twice because the paint I used first time round was rubbish But its worth it because it should set the engine bay off very nice.
Here are a few pics.


Thanks Michael

 

Looks good that mate, what colour did you go for in the end?
Doesn't look like it has been laquered yet though?

 

All I used was silver appliance paint for washers, cookers etc I don't think I am going to laquer it because I am not keen on the shiney look I prefer it with a matt effect.
Thanks Michael

 

Here is a pic of my rocker cover fitted.


Thanks michael

 

nice clean engine
