Cam cover paint.

How did you get hold of riloplast 80. I made enquiry via sokema customer care and was quoted a huge cost due to minimum order requirements? Is there a uk retailer that can sell small quantities?

why not paint the plenum red too. would suit that the 100 mile Granturismo DKR

Why not, I did.

Kcolours supply small tins (250ml) and its bloody good stuff. I got my paint on Ebay and it was excellent. Its Expensive though around €70 from Italy but worth it!

13 years old.
It was just one aspect of part of a 3 month major refurbishment.... mechanical suspension under body treatment, variators, lots of other mechanicals, body and interior refurbishment.... a long long list.
Was it worth it or should I have bought a much younger one? It would have been certainly lot cheaper.
Now that Matt and Ashley have had their seriously OCD mitts all over her, together with previous work I now have a car with exceptional pedigree and provenance. I know she's in exceptional condition irrespective of age and confident that she'll be with me for some considerable time.
They're good aren't they, Matt and Ashley?

Matt & Ash similar work done on my 02 sypder (inside and out) - so I don't have any qualms about submitting the 6+ pics Cherished Vehicles want for my agreed price (£25K) insurance policy (which is costing £260, tho mileage limited to 7500miles)

The plenum of my MCV was flaking and I couldn't live with it.
So I decided to paint it black with the VHT wrinkle paint.
The plenum of the gransport trofeo is black, so I tought why not?

Quite please with the result.

Before

After

Easier to do than expected, first remove the old paint with paint stripper then use the VHT. I'm really happy with the result.

I did a tutorial with a lot of pictures (again in french, but you don't need all the verbiage with so much pictures)

Really like the blue rocker covers Matt did, now wondering if blue would be good for the plenum or if it would be too much.

 

[montravia]

The blue is the original spec for this GT variant, which s good because I prefer it

 

[Mr S]

I mean red rocker caps, with blue plenum on a 4200/GS

Emmm.... yuck

Too much Blue? I have wondered about doing some different/mixed colours with cackle paint on the plenum, but reckon it will be a pain to do, as you would need to fully cure one one, then mask areas of already painted plenum up to do a different colour.
