[ned]

want to paint my covers, what paint to use and is it a home job, how heat proof does it have to b and do the covers come of easy enough

and my ve is karma blue so like to do covers the same

Just go to supercheap and get some engine enamel, heaps of colors to choose from...I think there rated to 300 degrees which is more than enough. Get some clear coat as well. 3 coats of enamel and 2 coats of clear for around $20. Just make sure you rub it down with wet and dry paper. If you want to go all out you can primer it as well, that way you don't need to use much to cover the old paint.

I have had mine painted by a local airbrush artist here in townsville and must say he did a great job.
