removing the rocker cover just have to be careful to keep all the nuts and fittings in one place. can be a bitch if you lose any. apart from that its pretty simple but when i did mine i used a wire brush and thinners to both clean and slightly score the rocker as the rough surface makes the primer adhere better below are the steps i took to paint mine hope it helps: 1. using thinners and a wire brush i scrubbed the rocker cover to remove any grease,oil or dirt that was on it. whilst doing this it scratched the surface slightly and i made sure this was even over the whole surface. 2. the primer i used was hammerite special metals primer as i found the primer i used before can't remember the name of it didn't adhere properly and flaked off after being subjected to normal engine running temperatures. i let it dry 12 hours just to be sure. 3. using a very fine sand paper i then lightly sanded the primer to give another slightly scratched surface for the next coat to stick to. 4. using a can of deep gloss red i sprayed a light coat over the rocker cover whilst drying it with the hot air gun 5. i decided i liked the look of honda civic b16a engines and decided to recreate this effect. using b&q stone effect paint i then coated the rocker covered in a fine layer of this stone effect paint but as the under coat was red any gaps in the stone effect shows up red. Basically a paint with fine particles in it. i let this dry for 12 hours with gentle heat from an air gun to be absolutly sure it was dry. 6. using a can of deep gloss red i sprayed a light coat over the rocker cover whilst drying it with the hot air gun. i repeated this coat 4 times to build it up to a deep red sand stone type texture rocker cover. let dry over night around 16 hours 7. using a gloss lacquer to coat all this and protect it i built this up in 4 coats to give it a bit of durability. i then let this dry for 8 hours then carefully refitted to the car and let the engine run for half hour to see if there was any discoloration which there was none. I know these steps don't take as long as stated but i was just being careful because im sure you have all painted something decided to see if it is really dry and put a finger print in a perfect job. After doing this tooooooooo many times i just make sure and let it dry for a long time.....
