Hey what do ye think??
Hey guys, had a bit of spare time so I had a go at sprayin the rocker cover. Wanted to do a mad colour so went into Halfords and picked out this cool blue flip paint with metal flake. Also whiles I was at it I fitted a new induction kit. Let me know what ye think!
 Ill start by how I went about it, The induction pipe was too long so I measured it to fit the original pipe then got the grinder and cut it.   I filed all the sharp bits and while I was at it cleaned out the throttle body, it was manky dirty!   After that I fitted and secured it in place.  Lovely sound off it now and a bit of difference with the power as the old one was very old and clogged.  Next I removed the rocker cover by removing all the bolts and pipes. The old paint was put on with a brush without primer by previous owner so it was a very thin layer. I used paint stripper and wire wool to remove the majority of paint.   Next I got course p300 sand paper and got the rest of the paint off.  This also provided a good key for the primer. After this I primed it with five layers of primer, which I lightly sanded in between with wet and dry sand paper. After the primer had fully dried I applied five blue base coats.   I then let this dry fully and applied the top pearl coat (five layers too) After all this was dried I applied three coats of laquer.   Left this then over night in my bedroom by the radiator. Next day then put the new rocker cover and spark plug oil seals and fitted everything back
