i dont think many people have done it, id say take off the ecotec plastic cover and get your rocker cover powdercoated a crazy colour and get a silicone hose kit.


if u get your rocker cover powdercoated then make sure you clean the underside of it after its been done because if there is overspray it blocks the oil pump and fucks your engine dude....

powder coating is not the same as sand blasting though.

Ask Nic Barnes or Fad then, I'm sure they'll be happy to tell you quite how expensive it is!

aren't yous thinking of sand blasting, as i know sand blasting is a no no as if you clean it to death there is still usually sand still hiding in there.

Paint all caps the same colour, I did on my Ibiza bay and it looks smart.

Did oil, coolant, brake, washer fluid, power steering caps and the dipstick handle all matt black
