Hi Guys and Gals,

Thanks in advance,

VHT very good brand try to look for that. its relitively cheap but good quality

second for VHT. They make all types of paints, you would probably be looking for engine enamel. I think thats what its called, about $15 a can

yeah use engine enamel. like u could use regular spray paint for the engine cover but if you want to do all the others to match ull need to heat resistant

Cheers people, I thought if it gets hot under the bonnet for the extra cost for heat resistant paint it's worth it

how should I prep the cover, just clean it?

i did the cover on my VS by just cleaning it but on our VT when i cleaned the cover it left silicone on it and it kept bubbling so i had to do heats of light coats and rub it down until i got rid of all the bubbles but you could aways just use prepsol but i think it may be expensive
so just give it a wash n see how it goes

but yeh most likely just wash it because apparently its very unusual to get silicone on it from the cleaning chemicals
