Mmm catchy thread title :roll: :lol:

A Hammertone (charcoal) painted rocker cover.
Took me a whole of about 1hr to strip and clean the cover, repaint and refit.
I painted the nuts too, and one of the washers, for extra wank value.
Looks a damn sight better than just the standard 'Leyland black' rocker cover.

Anyone know where i can get a "Hot Run and Tested" sticker from... tell me or i'll be tempted to rice the rocker cover up more and put a JUNBL sticker or something like that on it. :)

Is the hammer coat heat resistant? I'd hate for the nice bling to bubble up in the summer time :?

Wow, those boys at Regency will be so impressed by the rocker cover that they will never notice that the air pump is missing. :twisted:

haha nice one Morrie1100 :)
It's only an air pump thermo housing, and the radiator from a emissions model mini too.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys.
And 68, the hammertone paint is said to be all good up to 800*C.
Doubt the rocker cover would get that hot :D
