Those pictures are pretty satisfying! What cleaner are you using? Some cracking results.

Like.
Shall we start a book on how long that rocker cover paint will last?
No matter where you go, there you are.
Re: new owner,not the best start with rs6
are they going to be 200'C hot?dont think so,head covers and intake are powder coated,if the paint will come off i'll just deep them in acid and leave bare alloy,thats the last thing im worried atm
Re: new owner,not the best start with rs6
Perhaps actual gold plating would give a nice durable finish.

Re: new owner,not the best start with rs6
Whether it's the last thing you're worried about not won't matter, it's more about how the magnesium was paint prep'd. There's zero paint left on mine when they were painted after headwork. Others have painted too, it doesn't hang around long, so we're all interested how long your powdercoating lasts innit.

Mine are satin black powder coated and it's stuck just fine to date.
