Dipped Cam Cover

I think it looks good. Makes a change from the standard black. 

Now got me thinking about looking into doing mine

Looks fantastic but do check on the underside for blasting medium trapped in any baffles or crevices, any doubt -- wash it out.  We have a member that lost his engine due to grit circulating the engine after a sand blast of his cam cover

Good idea - I'll wash it out before fitting

Decided my engine bay needed a bit of a tidy up.

Had a local company dip the cam cover.

Really pleased with the result. 

 

May not be to everyone's taste but I like it.

I'll add some more photos at the weekend after I've fitted it back on.

Looks great, what was the cost if you don't mind me asking? My engine's in bits at the moment, so have the opportunity to do it.

Agree, looks great. Would be interested to see what temperatures the 'film' can work too.

Do you use on just road, or track?

Just road use.

 

The guy who did it has a highly tuned Focus RS with lots of under bonnet bits dipped included the engine cover.

 

I did ask about temperature effect on it and he said it wouldn't be a problem - he has done lots of cam covers in the past with no issues. The most important thing was the cleaning and prep before dipping.

I have had one done for years in another car as has my brother. My Westfield one has been on for about a year too and is fine.
