Halfords don't do brocade yellow :(

Is the vaux stuff much more expensive?

use the humbrol paint as its well cheap, my dad used it on his jag e-type head, an it aint pealed yet, one tin will do the lot, just clean it first b4 u paint it, gunna do mine soon. gunna do it black tho, pic of engine bay in avatar. if u mean the plastic cover, just sand it down an use plastic primer then paint with spray from halfords.

Has anyone done this? If so, what do i need to know? (ie special primers?). I want it the same colour as the car. Is this going to be possible?

Thanks
