Something I have been working on after work.

Man that looks awesome. How do you stop the rocker cover from corroding after you've polished it up? Mine looks ok after I wash the engine bay and I've even tried spraying a bit of WD40 on the cover but after a month or so it starts developing a white, rusty powder in some spots.

[YBHVE4]

LOL make sure you bring you wallett to pay for the polishing stuff not labor.

Im going to be selfish though Scott and say this is the only one im doing.

damn it...can u do some discounted polishing for me then PLEASE!!!!

[EFFalcon]

I'll bring the ED in Shaun.
We'll sand all the paint off, polish it up and clear coat it.

Not sure how I am going to counteract that yet suppose ill see to it when it start to do it.

I would think WD40 would have a reaction to the fresh metal I may try some clear over the top and see how it comes up.

You just reminded me of a car I saw in Mt.Eliza few weeks ago. Had a chrome paint job, chrome tint and the plates spelt out CHROME.
It was a Lexus I think...I almost drove right into it coz I couldn't stop staring at it haha.

[SnyperEB]

LOL LIKE THAT FULL CHROME MERCEDES!!

[SnyperEB]

[glenneaux]

sick.! i want to do the supra bits and pieces but its a bit of an all or nothing type thing.....

would like to see how the finish holds up though

[travs ea-xr6]

That does look nice as, i reckon clear coat it so it stays that way

[SnyperEB]

Hopefully Just re polishing every now and then it holds its shine.

That looks mint Shaun. Well done.

Sounds like a pita to maintain the look though.

[KR1STO]

I'm doing the rocker covers on the 2jz, which hasnt been a whole lot of fun lol, but im doing it all by hand. if you have some patients and the right tools you can do some mad shit.

[EDFalcon]

Looks awsome mate!

LOL LIKE THAT FULL CHROME MERCEDES!!

If its the one from Dubai then i believe its actually coated in white gold...

[glenneaux]

when doing cast stuff, would sand blasting get rid of some of the pores ?

I need to use that sandblaster at work for something

[SnyperEB]

You can buy specific sanding tools and materials for cast stuff glen. Which is good to not get a reaction from the metal.

I'm tempted to do supra engine bay but its too damn busy and like i said it'd have to be all or nothing

[SnyperEB]

Yeah true

[Dansedgli]

Put a big single in it. Then it wont be busy.
