Rob_Mitchell Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Has anyone used normal car paint on covers? I'm planning a build and want to know if the paint lasts ok. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Crinkle Powder-coat mate! Looks ace and as it's cured at something like 180C, you won't have any problems with heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't want crinkle mate, I have seen alot of cars with gloss covers. I Think they are just painted in 2k, so think it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 A dutch forum member painted them black with 2K and a few years ago (single turbo) and they lasted fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossco Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I would have though 2k would come off in a matter of weeks at the temps it will be subject to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
