sebzetecs Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I dont think anyone has before i haven't seen any... Maybe ill be the first, started spraying it this morning, only thing I'm worried about is the paint cracking under the heat of the engine, only one way to find out if it will be okay i suppose Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarksST Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I had the cover painted on my ST, I know it's a different engine but that was done in normal paint. You could put silver foil tape on the underside to reflect heat if you wanted. Isn't the 1.0L cover a flexible rubber material? That would be more of an issue for the paint rather than the heat.

sebzetecs Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ohhh cool is the ST cover just normal plastic? N yhhh its flexible but seems fine with the paint on it, i suppose if yours is fine n didn't crack mine should be ok Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
