Default Cam Cover paint and machine??

Can anyone tell me the process of getting my cam cover done like the one below.
Paint?
Powder coat?
Machining?
Lacquer?

That is mine it was done by Mick at spraystation. He painted it and the silver is not machine finished, it is a colour so that it will not dull down and need polishing. That is my cam cover.


I cannot find his details. He does a lot with Spec R. Make some allowances for communication as Mick is very dyslexic so not great on paypal etc. His work is fantastic.


I think he posts a lot of pics up on Facebook if that helps?

I bought a cam cover bolt kit off MT Motorsport since that pic and used his bright stainless bolt kit too.

Your Peugeot 205 then?
Must be unreal with that lump in

Having the silver painted instead of machining sounds perfect to me

Yes, it is pretty mad although I still am yet to drive it on high boost map as it killed the std box before I did more than 100 miles in it. Mark Shead said it was pretty awesome on high boost.


Now my Skyline box and Supra rear and front quaife diffs are in I will be able to hopefully try it in the next week or so. At around 1 ton it is lively!

I thought yours was 4x4 and tremec was 2wd?

I am ashamed to say I don't actually know what coil packs they are, Mark Shead put them on with the borg Warner, vipec and 1000cc injectors all at same time with Rods loom.
