Steve (sdh2903) Posted December 24, 2021 Author Posted December 24, 2021 Diy 😬 It's a fairly lengthy process. Need to flat them back. Primer. Coarse silver base coat, 3 or 4 coats of candy then clear. 1 Quote

Used to paint bikes back in the 80’s when Candy Apple Red was the colour to have for your Kawasaki 😁 1 Quote

Paul Aspden (MoFast) Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 Normally I shy away from opinions on the aesthetics of someone else’s car. However when it comes to cam covers I really think there is only a few that work. BLACK DARK, DARK GREY / Anthracite RED (only in certain circumstances) basically when the original engine had red as standard. Also the rough texture paint that say Honda use always looks ace on cam covers. Quote

That's what's on there just now. It looked great at first but its not hard-wearing at all and if it gets grubby it's a pain in the A*** to clean. If the covers were metal I'd have had them done in powder coat wrinkle as it's tons better than aerosol but as they are plastic I don't have that option. Quote
