I thought I would fit my rocker cover which i bought off e-bay not long ago.
It's changed the appearance of the engine bay totally. I was gonna respray the old one in phantom or mandarin, but ended up getting this instead. Before:

yeah if your too retarded to clean it before applying. when applied properly shouldn't be a trouble, it's still on my mate VJ 265 Hemi months later and after driving from Hobart to Queensland and back. i painted my rocker cover red almost 2 years ago, still on there. |

I;m not a fan of the VHT high temp paint.
my brother is a spray painter, so i'd 2pac primer it, rub it back and paint it. Thats if i didn't buy this one. VHT is only good for calipers, others may not think so. I'm happy with it.

i used septone engine enamel in gloss black. You have to clean the area very well, and do a few coats and allow to dry very well.
