Project IS200 Polished Rocker Cover :-)
Project IS200 Polished Rocker Cover :-)
Going to be a long job this one, did a bit of a test polish using my 1st grade of paste and the rocker has very light pitting all over, so will need to be sanded down another level to try and get rid of it :Shooting:
Degreased,sanded and washed.....

Test polish on a bit of the cover using the 1st grade of compound?

Thought i'd start having a go at the IS200 rocker cover today? Gave it a good degreasing to start and then removed the tooling marks around the edges and then sanded most of it down :thumbup1:

spikes looking good chris:biggrin:what do you use to protect the shine to stop it going dull or do you just need to re polish ? :biggrin:
Sometimes i'll spray them with lacquer mate, engine parts i'd use high temp lacquer but depends on where the part fits? :thumbup1:
@Terry brackets will be off when i get going mate :thumbup:
