note the polished catch tank, samco hoses and the engine shield! please excuse the radiator as its yet to be changed to a 2 core and also the manky rocker cover as its off to be powder coated soon which means car will be laid up for a couple of days.

Your best of using an enamel based paint or spray it in 2k

Calliper paint doesnt stand upto the prolonged high temperatures....althought you can get some addative to add to paint to make it withstand the higher temps dont know what its called though.

The thing with usuing calliper paint is that it looks all well and tidy at first looks nice and smooth but after a period of time it starts to blister and looks a mess...this is what mine looks like now dread to think what it will be like after a couple of weeks of driving

[captainjack15]
