the rocker cover is halfords red enamel high temp paint, painted on rather than sprayed.

the exhaust manifold, inlet mainfold and head are sprayed in high temperature black spray paint

two coats of red, and 3 of spray i think. i left the red overnight, and the spray it says you should idle the eninge to let it warm and set the paint

nice to see you have changed the crappy k&n air intake pipe thing, the one that comes with it is far too small.

I was gonna choose that one, but didnt think that it would fit - so i got the 4-5 inche one instead

i hoped it would fit, and then made it fit

LOL, that old chestnut

yeh that usually the way i get things done, but i couldn't afford (literally) to get it wrong
