Im planning on stripping, sanding and polishing one......but no-one has a B16A rocker cover to sell!

Yeah I polished mine back myself.. took a good day though. The orginal paint freakin hard to get off.. once thats off the rest is easy..

First clean it down to get all the dirt of then get some sand paper and sand it back.. not too course though.. then when u have it all off sand it with finer sand paper and water.. wet and dry. Then polish away :)

Thats what I did anyway..

....err....that must've been extremely hard! best way to do it (or so im told) is to use aero grade paint stripper...then sand...

here is a DIY to polishing them:

...The only thing im not sure about, is- would the lack of that coat have any negative effect on the engine bay temperatures??
