[Euro] Painting Rocker cover

[stephen8512]

Hi guys.
Im thinking about painting my i-VTEC rocker cover and ignition coil cover. But i realised that the ivtec rocker cover is made of plastic and not metal? does anyone have any suggestions as to what paint enamel i can use to paint it? my mate resprayed his one on his car (not a honda, 180SX) but the SR20 cover is made of metal...and he used VHE paint enamel to respray it.

Does anyone know which enamel i can use to paint the plastic vtec cover with? And would it be heat resistant?
thanks guys

just remove the cover and go get it painted at a smash repairer. it will be oven baked enamel and will last.

Yeah but how expensive is it?? It might be more cheaper to just get it resprayed by the paint/panel shop...

ahh serious?
thanks for the info baboo
but wouldnt it be a bit pricy? since its a JDM part

[baboo]

might be around $200 bucks or less...they are not that expensive.

might cost more if you decided to get professional painters to do the rock cover.

any updates on this?

Has anyone got theirs painted, or got the jdm one???

I'm getting my front bar repainted soon...

So i can ask my panel & paint shop how much it would cost to get the rocker cover painted...
