On a classic you need the sensor connected to keep the light off Gaz unlike a newage,I will be using a Toucan which is what the yellow headed sensor is for in the T-block.

Thanks as well mate

 

The block tbf is painted yes but just to freshen it up as only 5K a go I forged the engine and had it sonically cleaned so it is/was very clean indeed

First step for cam covers is to rub them down either with wet and dry 600-800 or red course scotch pad
Next apply some plastic primer which is crucial for adhesion
next apply some 1k/2k primer [grey]
After primer you can rub them down if you wish but seeing as your applying crinkle paint there isn't much point as it's not a smooth finish anyway.

The job is best done in a moderate heat ie normal room temp so around 20'c and make sure if you use a heat gun to heat it evenly else you will get differences in the crinkle effect over the area and it will look sh!te an anything closer than 5 yards

 

Now where do you get this crackle finish from....
I work at a car spares and sell vht paint but can't get that flat red one..

Any ideas where I can get it.??

 

Am I right in thinking that crinkle red is more orange than the STI inlet manifold red?

 

Thats what ive heard , but some use it then dust with the right colour of normal paint.
