Hi Guys,
 
I wanted to paint the rocker cover something different so I tried VHT's Wrinkle Paint.
 
You put on 3 heavy coats then bake in the oven for an hour at 92 deg.  Don't tell the wife.
 
I am very happy and reckon it looks the goods.
 
Took less then half a can too.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt
 

Nice work with the pedal, the cover did come up well.

Cheers mate,
 
Yes, I am very happy.  Still got half a can too so I'm looking at what else I can paint.
 
Cheers

I've seen one done in red somewhere around the forums. it looks great

Thanks Mate,
 
I saw a Honda rocker cover done in red.  When they sanded off the raised lettering to expose the metal the contrast looks awesome.  It's where I got the idea.
 
Cheers,

ive done mine in black with the raised lettering exsposed, didnt bake mine tho (mum said no to car parts in the oven)
 

Yeah, I didn't think that one through.  Haven't been able to use the oven since! 
 
Looks great as always Mish.

Installed the rocker cover along with some load spreading washers I got off eBay UK.
 
I might also try to tidy up the wiring too.
 
Cheers,

Had a play with the new front struts and Volvo calipers.  I had a set of old pads I threw in to make sure it all fits up nice and it turns out the rotors just rub on the caliper brake pad pins.  They still spin but make a little noise so it's only a bees' nut out.
 
I am not sure what to do as all I can think of is to machine the rotors down about 1 - 2mm so they'll clear.
 
Any ideas?
 
Here's a few pics.

File the pins a mm or so so they dont fowl
