    told you it would damo



    i sprayed my rocker cover in hammerite tins, simply masked off the vauxhall raised section, i sprayed it 4 years ago so it weathers quite well


    heres my engine, done with brake caliper painted by the wife!!!, £5 for the tin

    I'm going to do my block and gearbox black as you will never see them and it will look 'cleaner' when its covered in road filth. Plus I wont have to buy different colours etc.

    Ive used simoniz Engine Enamel on nearly everything before now, providing its grease free it should do the trick!
