Hey guys,
Been thinking about painting my rocker for a while have a couple of questions first,can you paint it with normal car paint/rattle cans? Or does it need to be powder coated? Just I want to it in a metallic colour and powder coats are mainly solid colours.
Also can you use 14/14a covers or am I best to remove my cover and use that one?
Thanks

Can use any of the S14 covers. I would advise to use a powdercoaters. Usually they will powder coat it first and then do a top coat if you require a particular finish. I have just sent mine off to be done. Just ensure you ask the painter if he is shot blasting it or acid dip it. Only because in the top of the rocker cover there are metal plates stuck in at the top which will fall off in the acid bath. So ensure you remove them first before you have it done.

The coil packs are different from the S14 and S15.
I was told that the rocker covers are different to accommodate this and aren't interchangeable between the two models.

Maybe someone else can verify if the 14 covers can be used or if were stuck with 15 ones.

Cool ,cheers. Mate.
The place I have spoken too shot blast it so shouldn't be a problem,they said they only have one colour metallic which is granite ,I might ask if they would be able to do as you have said and top coat it the colour I want.
How much is a good price for this? They have quoted me £40 + vat does that seem a good price?

The s15 coilpacks are different to s14's so that might cause issues.... other than that i dont know of any other differences

No, they are different and not interchangeable.
