Paint for rockers covers and plenum

[Chuffmeister]

What type? Will ordinary spray and lacquer suffice or does it have to be a special enamel?

I used plastickote for my 500 rockers. Their purple is a spot on match for the TVR 500 colour.

Primed with acid etch after lots of prep and a year later it still ooks spot on - as good as powder coat

Which Plasti Kote did you use? The standard stuff?

Yep as far as I remember.
Certainly wasn't a high temp paint.
Stands up well (flawlessly infact)
No need for lacquer.

Thanks! I'll pop over to B&Q then!
