Picked up this style of rocker cover today:



All the lacquer is fucked on it though, so going to respray it. Considering just doing it black again, but I thought I might do a little change.

Got the vauxhall part on the top off, thinking of doing it caribic blue, and the actual rocker cover white.

Then stick a chrome vauxhall text badge on the top?

Hope someone understands what I mean

I think ill paint it like yours, in a weed crazed fashion

I don't actually use "ya ken" etc, more of a south Scotland thing.

the splatter paint thing is funny you need to pick good colours though i wish i never did mine green i might change it and do it some other colour but i dont really know if i should as i havent decided if i want it black again this time arund or perhaps red or some other colour like brown or air brush it so it looks like the top of a cylinder head ie looks like there is not got a rocker cover on it at all as i think that would look quite weird but good and cool in a non-irmy kind of way

i dont like using comma's or full stops.

Air brushed ones look superb, but depends on the design.

Unless you fancy a powercoated one? I hear theres some good ones on ebay

yes some stunners, that is if you remove all the powdercoating that seems not to be powder coating, and actually just paint, and have it done elsewhere....................

Yeah, thats a good idea.

Would of kept this rocker cover original if the lacquer hadnt gone all shite, and don't/cant afford any black spray paint, so ill just do it white

Well, its a bit rough, didnt bother flatting down the rocker cover after the primer, couldnt be arsed, then near dropped the bit on top after I lacquered it, so it has finger prints in it, and a few lacquer runs, still looks OK though, and will hardly been seen anyways:



(Still have to stick on the vauxhall badge, will do it tomorrow when I fit the rocker cover)
