Doing the battery cover also.

Plastic primer, 294 Chilli mixed, lacquer.

Adding some spice to it.

Might leave battery cover.
Will look too red, I don't know.

Need to sort out the rocker cover at the back.

Painting the Horrid overturned Dishpan "covers" pioneered by VW trying to hide it's Crap engine bits?? Don't paint those.. put them into the trash bin.

 

[Ian78]

Would be too much red too.
Will just make the rocker cover look better.

Found this picture while looking about google images.

IMO. It will look better if you leave the battery cover as it is.

 

[Ian78]

I was trying something different Nordic.

Paint looks a bit textured, that's just the plastic finish.

How long should you leave a masked edge like that before removing tape?

Is it better to wait a day or so?

I can see the paint peeling off with it but worse case I will just paint it satin or matt black.

 

[Ian78]

Turned out well. Tape came off fine.

 

[Ian78]

There is a part that doesn't look right where I taped it.
Will sort that out.

Now you just need to get the red silicone hoses.

 

[Ian78]

Good idea Nordic, have been thinking about that.

 

[Nordic-Machine]

Do you have a noobtune map on this one?

 

[Ian78]

It has the Maptun one, was on it when I got it.

 

[Ian78]

Where would be the best place to get silicone hoses?
Have seen them Chinese ones look good for the money.

 

[Nordic-Machine]

I'm not sure if the chinese ones will fit properly. The popular ones are from Do88. Can also get it from maptun.

 

[Ian78]

Will have a look.
Just get the visible ones first.

 

[Nordic-Machine]

By the way, how's your intake air temperature, with that intake system?

 

[Ian78]

I have no idea, why should there be a problem?
The duct pipe is behind the grille.

 

[Nordic-Machine]

I was just curious. No CEL right?
