Painting cam covers

I am going to paint my cam covers. What paint is best and what method? prime then paint? or just a high temp engine paint?

 

I want to get some polished ones but can't afford it so for now I will paint these to spruce them up. Fed up of seeing original the flaking paint.

polished is far better, but also a lot more expensive than a can or 2 of paint :)

 

Ask Dr Doom (Rob) for some pics of his new cam covers that i gave him at suprapod ;)

 

look nice dunk! :)

 

Ibrar does a good job although dare i say it i did prep these myself and removed all the casting marks and the flash lines which does make a huge differance.

so you did all the work basically lol

 

It was quite easy really with the right tools and only took an hour or so to do both covers :) i think it took Ibrar that long to mask them both up which needs to be done nicely, the p/c bit is the easy part.

I'd like to see what they'd look like in a black crackle finish like I had my plenum done in.

 

I did some in crinkle finish but it didnt crinkle enough !!!! I think Frosts sell the proper crinkle finish, I must try it one day. The ones I tried looked pretty good.
