has anyone painted their rocker cover
i want to match mine in moonstone to car and wondered if normal paint will crack with the heat
also is the rocker cover gasket one piece or is it a bit fiddly
dont want to f--k anything up

 

hi mate i have always powder coated the rocker covers i have done for me and other ppl, as i dont know how well normal painting would stand up to the heat that the cam cover gets, the cam cover gasket is in one piece mate and is a really simple job to do
some pics for u
just been powder coated


machined top then mirror finished


and finally on the car

this was a lads cam cover that i have just done on here for him mate,cheers matt

 

rsgaz. how much do you charge to powder coat the cam covers as i'm after one doing in the blue colour that escort cossie's came with
cheers matt

 

gaz how much to powder coat and machine/polish and can u do in moonstone blue

 

you both have pm's

 

Can you tell me how much to do one for me too please ?????

 

me too please, do I have to supply the cam cover??

 

Fastmaul, you buftey, concentrate on getting the car into America first mate!

 

XR4TIman...I thought i told you?? I do have a cossie engine 4x4 one, 200block etc..but It's just on the back burner..I've been getting parts here and there..but still need some parts. I'm selling the mt75 and front diff..I don't want it...only cause I know it won't handle the monster power that will come out of it.

 

Fastmaul, what happened to the Moonstone 3 door matey?? Did u get screwed in the end?

 

what happened to this thread being kept about powder cating

 

With reagrds to the powder coating topic. I bought 2 cans of black smooth finish hammerite and 1 can of white. If you rub the top coat of the old paint off and take your time with the masking tape and spraying and letting each coat dry properly you get a really good finish. Mines been on for three months and no cracks or any problems at all. Cost me Ł20. If any one wants a pic of the finished cover then let me know and I will sort it out.

 

another cam cover i have just done

 

 

In reguards to normal paint, the crackle glaze my mate used was normal paint not powercoat, and ive already got a couple scratch marks. Then prob u have is when it heats up the pain gets soft so placing tools ontop is a big no-no
