evest Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi mate, I've just ordered some VHT paint today for a project on another part of the engine - I'm spraying the rocker covers. Just search VHT paint on ebay. You can get the primer, enamel and lacquer etc. I think the main UK distributors are Jim Woolfe Racing and US Automotive - they both sell on ebay. I'm no expert but I guess these would be the things to go for. I think some people get their powder coated in order to get the perfect finish. Good luck!

samsniss350z Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) There's a post on how to paint the upper plennum on www.my350Z.com ,I can't remember the exact link but a search will find it. It goes through the complete process from start (removing oxidation from upper plennum to finish (what to use to prep the surface before applying primer and paint. I've a feeling there's a post on this site as well somewhere. Failing that, get Wasso to polish up your plennum.
