looking good :) I have some silver 2.0L stickers on order for my black cover ;)

Looks like a good job!

Did you spray with primer first and what type of paint did you use? I might do it but does it have to be high temperature paint with High temp clear laquer?

Cheers!

I just used some gloss black I had lying around in my garage :) Just normal laquer over the top a few times.

oh right! I thought it would have to be done using that "very high temperature paint"

Smoked side repeaters look good I forgot to say!

Nah, normal paint from halfrauds does the job, no need for primer either, just a wee rub down with wet and dry first

I'd deffo primer and laquer it, makes it look 1000x better once you've done it. Painting, as they say is all the prep.

Liking the smoked repeaters, look good with the wheels and badges.

Looks good for normal paint job, girlfriend (deb182) had her cover done in racing blue and liquid yellow.
