Painted/Polished Rocker Covers

[D Zest]

Not sure if this belongs in engines buuuuuuut.

Ive seen alot of rocker covers that are painted aswell as polished... How do you do that? Do you Polish them up first then paint them or paint them then polish it up for a few months lol

Cheers

Strip the paint off, then clean them up, polish like wanking no longer exists :)
