What paint did you use for that eg special engine high temp paint?

To be honest mate, I coulden't tell you. It was all done before I got the car (apart from a couple of bits). I bought the car from stevenet15. Give him a pm and he'll be able to tell ya! All I know is that its poseidon blue.

Stevenet's a quality fella

Got a fair idea what paint he used anyways thanks :)

Clone 22nd November 2007 15:50

I would use frezzor bags, but what do i cover anything else apart from ecu and the battery?

Wayne 22nd November 2007 17:33

Clone 22nd November 2007 17:47

thanks mate. Will not let me rep.

Just realised how cleaning your bay in some of the pics can reveal a new manifold, ECU and other colours and a brace :p

That guide is ledgendary as this gets covered a lot

I personally would steam clean as i find that you still have to dry and wipe everything down after with products and you get the same if not a better job with WD40, strong degreaser such as CG Orange Citrus degreaser just sprayed on left and then wiped down
