hello people ive just sprayed my plug cover with high temp paint ,once ive rubbed it back do i use normal laquer or something else as i'm a sausage and ain't got a clue lol ,any ideas or help would be much appreciated cheers foxy

i dont think it would be to wise to use lacquer as its bound to get real hot under the hood.

yeah just high temp paint will do,avold using laquer under the bonnet

As rich said no laquer under the bonnet as it tends to take on dirt when warm

it didn't work chaps the paint started cracking on warm up ,, anyway i've stripped it back and polished it right up it looks better than i thought so i'm well happy with it,,,foxy

Pics?

Has anyone done this on an ecotec, what did you use, and any pics of the final results, thanks.

done what mate? painted or polished?

Painted???

essentially the same process high temp paint after prepping...

Look at my engine bays . I've just used normal paint and laqure n them with no problems, and the v6 is a hotty!

I used enamel on my rocker cover (ecotec) and once hammerited (smooth, spray can) the spark plug cover. Did this on an XE spark plug cover too for a mate.

Just stinks a little bit while the paint goes off when it gets warm but soon diappears after a couple of days.

Dont use Laquar, as when the engine bay gets hot, it goes soft and all the grit and much sticks to it!
