Right, I'm getting my Rocker Cover powder coated this weekend.. What colour shall I get?

My car is BRG with gold (Not very noticeable) calipers, black wheels, black roof and black lights.

So, my theme is usually black and gold, so was thinking of black cover with gold lettering?

Sounds very JPS-esque, I say do it! Make sure you get pictures up.

Hadn't thought of that, good thinking.

I'll get it done and see how it comes out, just need to give the rest of the engine bay a good clean up.. Any advice?

i've got mine matt black with gold lettering, looks alright smile tho the gold has gone a bit dirty as with the 1.6 the lettering is sunk into the cover, and i never ever clean my engine

I'd get over to detailing world and see what the OCD crowd has to say, half of them have engine bays cleaner than my kitchen.

I once used a mini steam cleaner designed for ovens and carpet stains, did an ok job but needs degreaser and other cleaning products to really get half the grime out of an engine.

Pait it black with red lettering. But spill the tin of red paint everywhere. It looks great.
