Post your painted spark plug covers

IPD started selling some anodized aluminium bolts. I think they're about 6 times the price as the Volvo ones, but they do add a bit of sparkle and won't rust.

Vjaneczko -

Thanks for the tip on the IPD bolts for securing the spark plug covers.

Here is the link from IPD should anyone want to see them,

They come in silver or blue - $58 for 8. Pricey but nice.

Anyone have a more economical solution?

Still working on the engine bay, but the covers were a good start. Used vaseline on the raised lettering to make it easier to remove the red paint.

Cool idea! I'll have to try that when it's warmer.

Hey frost what tape did you use to mask the cover?
I replace my upper engine mount s60 R and since i had it in the garage for a few days i decided to paint it.

I want to paint the rest of the engine covers and hopefully tape off the lettering but i cant seem to get tape to stick to the plastic, its really porous...
tried painters tape, electrical tape and even box tape.

Use vasoline instead of tape.

Did this a few weeks ago. Just need to hand paint the letters silver and I'll be all done:

Found this on e-bay. It seems he has made a few for sale. Not to expensive and goes with the other blue things.
