Just finished painting my rocker covers and re-doing my coilpack cover.

When i first got my car i painted my coilpack cover dark blue (it was meant to look anodized).

I took off my rocker cover to get them chromed, the realized how much that would cost.

Went down to repco and bought some paint and though F it, i'll do it myself.

So after a couple hours of sanding, a few coats of paint, and copious amounts of clear, i am ver happy i chose not to chrome them.

Pics don't do it justice.

looks good paul - cam covers look std only better haha

blue is definately better than the 2nd pic

is that the metal cast blue? post back if you encounter any discolouration issues with it if it is, i've used the red on a mates RB20 and it went orange after a few months ;)

so i went and redid them in powdercoat

that looks really good man...

oh, and mine look heaps different to standard...

mainly coz of the clear coat... looks like plastic instead of metal.

i haven't ever had a problem with it before... so i really hope i don't now that you've said it...

im used to seeing cam covers in sandblasted form lol - instead of that little bit of goldish coating they have from the factory

nothing shows off those flakes and the colour than looking at it in person.

yeah might be a problem with the red and not the blue

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
