**johnsastra16v** · 19-05-2005 21:01

anyone?

**SimonP** · 19-05-2005 21:06

Looks quite nice. Craking idea with the colours. Needs finishing though. No shine on them...get at it with wet and dry. You lacquered them

**SimonP** · 19-05-2005 21:09

.....doesn't need any text on it...just a bit of shine.

**Miss Liz** · 19-05-2005 21:11

I like it without any text, might ruin it if you out txt on it

**johnsastra16v** · 19-05-2005 21:12

the oil cap needs re-doing, but the purple part has been laquered.
dunno, i just think it needs either some chrome badging, or some chrome/silver vinyl!

not sure

**SimonP** · 19-05-2005 21:13

I like the finish of the silver part. Looks like brushed alloy. But the blue section needs flatting back. Send it to me in the post and I'll give that a shine like you've never seen!

Lettering would totally ruin it IMHO.

**Miss Liz** · 19-05-2005 21:14

Don't get me wrong i see what you mean, but sometimes mate less is more!

**johnsastra16v** · 19-05-2005 21:17

Not even an irmscher badge or something of the like? lol

Dunno, i just feel that it needs to say something on it

**SimonP** · 19-05-2005 21:18

Nope nothing. Leave it...just let me give it a shine for you.

Free of charge like

**Miss Liz** · 19-05-2005 21:19

Maybe! all i'm trying to say is i really like it as it is!!

**richie00boy** · 19-05-2005 21:21

thats the one mate!

**richie00boy** · 19-05-2005 21:45

Thanks. Always wondered how it would turn out. Was it easy to use?

**johnsastra16v** · 19-05-2005 21:47

yeah easier than normal paint
just gotta watch you dont over spray it as it takes the pi55 drying!
but its pretty easy to work with

**Reverb** · 19-05-2005 21:50

How does that plasti coat stuff stand up to heat? like the inlet manifold?

**johnsastra16v** · 19-05-2005 22:22

EDITED:

think it stands heat upto 110'c

Just checked on the can

**Aragorn** · 19-05-2005 22:30

my entire rocker cover is done in plasticote purple metallic and its fine

ive also done my brake calipers and brake servo in it and they are also fine

its heat resistant upto about 220c if i remember rightly just the same as normal acrylic car paint
