Ok the gf is away on holidays this week so I have some free time on my hands

Goin to re-spray my rocker cover but need some help and tips. Is there a tuturial that someone has made or used before that could help out. What paint is best to be used. Want it to be red and I knw it has to be heat proof

Also is it easy to take off without any special tools as I had a quick look and it seems theres sensors and what not goin into it

Any helpful tips are Welcomed

What engine size as the 1.4 and 1.6 16v engines are not cam covers but hold the cams so in short it would be like doing a cam belt change to get the cam carrier/cover off.

1.4 16v DOHC. Is it a big job for a beginner?

Its all in the haynes manual - not too difficult, tho the tensioning can be fun!
