Painting Rocker Cover

Post by philiano »

Hi all
I've got a split in my Rocker cover gasket, and I'm thinking that, while I have the cover off, I might sand it down and paint it.
Has anyone done this on their Rocco? I'm thinking red or black, as the car is red.

I changed the rocker cover gasket as was leaking on the Scala, the ones from VW are all one piece and you get new stubs to put in so advise getting a stud extractor, will make the job easier. I painted the roker cover satin black, also did the fan housing, makes so much of a difference.
