Can anyone remember who it was that painted their spark plug cover on their engine (the Lotus logo and the Elise lettering)? I remember seeing a pic and thinking about doing it myself but cant find the post.

 

Been looking through the archives (and SELOC) but cant find it.

 

Anyone remember?

Had it on our S2 engine cover too, red with silver lettering. Paul who bought an unpainted S2 cover from us will be spraying his shortly I believe.

thanks billy, did you use touch up paint aswell? Did it cope ok with the heat?

 

I think i'll just go over the lettering and logos with the eliseparts touchup paint (new ali).

i used a heat resistant red for the main cover then some std silver wheel spray from a motorfactors for the lettering, i sprayed this into the can lid and applied it with a modeling type paint brush
