[Fin]

yea thats correct, its phoenix yellow. Y-56.
edit- i've no experience with powder coating but it should be the same colour code as your still looking for the same end colour.

My rocker cover was initially powder coated! I thought i had cleaned the underside completely untill a part of shot blast chewd up my oil pump. Was lucky nothing else was damaged!

If i was getting it powder coated i'd make absolute sure its totaly cleaned mate it was a pricey mistake i made!!

As for the paint codes im not sure if they are the same

if you are getting it powder coated dont go to tallaght powder coating, go to Barrelle instead ( i know your in cork but just incase!!!) TPC did a bad job on my old integras cover. i dont think you can use colour codes for powder coating though....

also i was told before that if the right primer is used painting rocker covers is fine....
