Honda Engine rocker cover red paint

Post by Serkta » Thu Apr 27, 2023 3:41 pm

Hi, having recently bought an Atom 3 the red paint is fading or missing in areas. Please could somebody point me in the right direction for the colour code and where to buy the paint?

I’ve resprayed mine twice wit VHT red wrinkle spray paint.
It looked okish but it’s really tricky to get a consistent finish over the whole cover.
However, I mentioned it to the guy in the next unit to us who does powder coating and he said he could do it no problem!
Two hours later and £50 lighter it now looks brill.
Google powder coaters locally and you might get lucky.

It's about 300€ in this french company.

Thank you all. The powder coating looks great. I don't fancy taking the engine apart at the moment so will have a go myself. Especially, as I want to drive the car, maybe I'll get it powder coated over the winter.
