[Jamesl172]

Hi all,

seen a few pics of some clios with the engine cover painted the same colour as the car (arctic blue / yellow for example), just wondering if anyone who has done this can can tell me what they recommend using especially for arctic blue colour.

Cheers.

Just go to a local motor factor shop where they mix aerosol paint and get some rattle cans made up and also some clear lacquer . The paint code for arctic blue is J41 .

not needed at all. u can use any cellulose paint, as the part doesnt get hot, i've painted several and havent had problems with any (apart from andy and his bloody fluff ) also had one on my car from pretty much when i owned it (over a year) and had no problems

give us a pm if you want a quote, can do u a special price if i've already got the paint.

few examples all done by me
