Joe mentioned on his Rocker Cover gasket video that he would share the OEM Mitsubishi Rocker Cover Powder Coat code. I am currently doing this job, so in the interest of time i wanted to ask the community here to see if anyone else knows what this code is so that i can have a local shop re-coat mine for me. Thanks in advance!
Is Vr4 same as 3000GT twin turbo. For the 3000, the front bank rocker cover is painted in a black wrinkle paint finish. I do not think this is a powder coat system which my understanding means electrostatic and baking. Wrinkle paint comes commonly in a can, needs to be put on quite wet and thick and benefits from a little oven warmth in the drying/reaction phase for enhanced wrinkling
OK just saw Joe’s vid and he seems quite sure the OEM paint system for the rocker cover was a powder coating that powder coaters can reproduce. Maybe so. However a finish that has an appearance that looks what I believe to be very close to the factory finish can be achieved relatively simply and very cheaply with wrinkle paint in a can as a DIY process. I have mentioned in another thread how I did this including reinstating the red diamonds and the exposed alloy lettering.
