Painting and Powder coating rocker covers

[GTRsean]

My attempt a few years back. Just used the holts under coat silver, and it came out gloss by itself.

Craved powder coated the current setup and it came out shmick. Here's a pic with the center cover on.

how hard is it to take the covers off the RB26 in a GT-R?

I wouldn't mind doing this at some stage....

Does anyone know or can recommened a place that does the marble finish??

Anyone had any issues with the clear not curing? I've painted mine twice and it's still the same, I used high temp primer, acrylic colour and high temp clear . Came up well but as soon as engine heats up its almost like the paint is wet it's that fragile. I then read the can on clear which said to bake at 200 degrees for an hour which did harden it but severely dis colored it.

I was quoted $280 for a set of RB26 covers (inc shipping as i'm in Melbourne) like this from Craved Coatings.

Chris Thomson (owner) mentioned that they didn't make this exact colour any more however he could get it pretty close.
