Hi mate, if you are talking about the actual cam covers them selves then you can use normal spray paint but give it plenty of layers of colour and clear coat or it wont last due to the heat. The plastic coil cover can also be done the same way. It isnt that expensive to get them done proffessionaly though around £20 -£30 per coverand will look much better, trust me!

cool cheers,its more to do with getting a quite good match for rim tape colour to keep the theme going I've been in touch with paints4u to see about getting a match to the vinyl so if normal paint will do I'll go that route i think, I've purchased a smoothed plastic bit from the for sale section on here,and I'm gonna do something to the e-tech brace to carry on the theme.

It's had a clean since and a couple of other small tweaks but is essentially still the same.
