Deadmetal Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Normal car paint from halfords works on the engine cover / airbox.You might need new top mounts for the front coils. Easiest to get them, dont need to get them off the stock set up then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopy29 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Cheers dude will I need a plastic primer for the engine cover ? Plus do I just scotch pad the cover wipe clean and primer and paint it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmetal Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Give the engine cover a REALLY good clean/degrease. I had to go over mine a couple of times with washing up liquid to get the paint to stick properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
