Spraying engine cover

[MonacoDan]

Just a quick question, I'm looking to spray the engine cover on my 1.2, do I need to use high temp paint or can I just use rattle cans? Thanks.

rattle cans will be fine, that's what I used.

Ok, thanks mate.

Yep rattle cans. I used ten on the engine cover and the inlets never had a problem.

Would this be the same on the sports do you have to remove anything guys sorry to hijack

Will be fine. I have sprayed an exaust fairing on a motorbike with rattle cans.

Yea mines a sport. Its fine. Remove engine cover, remove inlets and fuel rail. Spray! Few bolts. Jut take pictures of how stuff is fitted so you can replace exactly. That's all I did.

Cheers mate.

If it got THAT hot...the plastic of the cover would melt...it gets warm...but not hot enough on the cover to affect the paint.

Just make sure you use a plastic primer, as normal primer doesn't stick very well to plastic.

Trust me, I know from experience.
