Hi, can the Rocker cover be painted in situ? My red paint is peeling off quite quickly!

Cheers.

I did mine in situ and it came out well. But would have been a lot easier had I removed it. Lucky most of the old paint had flaked off before I had started so the prep work wasn't too extensive. Factor in some time masking everything up if you don't want paint all over the rest of the engine bay.
