My rocker cover and belt guard was done in 2 pac (only way to get my colour). But I'm using VHT in black on my calipers / hubs.

Very happy with both.

That cover in black looks great, better than red, looks like a fake XR wannabe cover, well done Glen on the different look.

thanks guys. I like the red too but i had black left over from spraypainting my grill. Came up awesome, and i sandpapered the writing back to silver too. JC from fordforums told me how to do it. Pretty easy.

VHT is just a brand doofus. prolly use VHT engine paint to do the colour then clear on top to get the shine and protection!
