i have seen countless rocker covers sprayed and lacquered with normal car paint and it hasnt gone funny, think its coz its plastic it doesnt get hot enough to screw it up. Make sure you prep it well though

You can just use normal car paint mate, then go down to miry lane industrial estate to the graphic shop and get him to do you an ecotec sticker
