Anyone stripped the paint off theirs and gave it a bit of a polish (nothing too shiny)?

Was thinking of doing mine as it looks shite how it is, tatty blue. . .was planning to do a Scotland flag but not got round to buying the stuff. . infact may even just do that instead.

any other idea's, what you's done?

gotta fill my days somehow


While it's off, anything I can check, cam wear/tappet wear. . will prob give it a clean too if it's black inside (assume it is but you know what I mean lol)

 

MAtt black. I'll do it if you want. Paint baked in our oven, just DON'T tell jen

 

If i get it painted, i want the Scotland flag on it

 

ive just done mine candy red. looks pretty gd i reckon

 

i had a go at doing one once it took fucking age's in the end i just whent and bought a chrome one the best way to get all the paint off is to have it sand blasted

 

done mine at work dude check it out in pics and vids on page 4 titled new rocker cover 10th one down

 

Ive heard horror stories of sand blasted rocker covers. . . the sand gets stuck on the baffle underneath the cover, and ends up wrecking the engine, so be carefull


Is their any way you can paint over a powder coating, if i wanted a white cross on it, mask it up and paint it with white paint, then laquer prob?

 

i just paited on top of the original paint on the rocker cover. im a spraypainter and done it in my work. turned out minted

 

sand blast and yes , clean it properly!

i have a solid cast one , only one ive seen in RSA . got it chromed , which doesnt scratch or peel and is piss to keep clean

paint looks good until the first time you do work on the head ,re tighten bolts and the shits comes off

chrome it!

 

easy fella i do abit of powerder coating at work and i made a tea tray with a england flag on it i powder coated the whole thing white then masked out the flag then covered the rest in heat proof tape and jobs done just take your time doin it.

 

BIGEVILRTS, Sounds like I should be sending it to you

 

i would help you out mate but the thing is we dont know what colours were gonna be on we might not be on white for another 2 weeks yet but give it a go just take your time you can use normal spray paint just get heat proof stuff the prep is just as important as the finish
