Send Joe (JRK aka powderpros) He has a Rocker box swap deal you can do through him with them wrinkle to match the rest of the motor. Or whatever color you want. Not sure of the price, but he'll do it right the first time and not screw it up like my local powder coaters did to my apes.

For the rockers removal and install this should help!!

I would love to send my stuff to joe, however id pay a bloody fortune for shipping to and from canada. ive got a coater lined up to do my rockers, heat shields and various other parts. How hot do these things get? the coater said they would be fine upto 400 degrees because thats what they cure at, so again, how hot do these things get? should i be concerned?

Mine are painted with Krylon BBQ black. Krylon BBQ black has a nice satin finish, unlike Rustolium which is ultra flat. I painted my rocker covers 2 yrs. ago and the Krylon has held up just fine.

Rocker covers are small enough to fit into your old lady's stove if you want to give one of those cheap Harbor Freight powder coat systems a go. I know they say not to use a stove you also put food into, but hey, well, you know . . . LOL!

I doubt it would be a problem because 90% of our motor is powder coated. Plus if it cures at 400 it should handle anything up to that. If your bike is running hotter then 400 degrees you have bigger issues.

regular powder is just fine, as long as you do not use white or some light color

If I can recommend. Eastwood diamond clear when your finished with the color. Their spray prep is great for cleaning it before you paint. And use an adhesive promoter no matter what brand of paint you use. I took off the original factory clear on my 84 and used Eastwood clear on everything years ago and it held up for years. I sold the bike 12 years later. I kind of miss the old polished aluminum look.
