So, I'm preparing for my next (and hopefully last) trip to a garage to get the carbon cleaned out and I thought I'd have the intake cover repainted at the same time.
I always thought engine covers were powder coated, but a powder coater in Milton Keynes suggested conventional paint instead because the heat can make powder coats blister.
They offer a number of different types of colour - from powder-coating to painting and anodising, so I thought I'd ask what the factory finish is?
Is it painted, or powder coated?
In case I have the terminology wrong, I mean the bright silver bit in the attached pic. In between the Audi rings cover and the V10 5.2 cover.
