Painted Supercharger Cover Thread

[Liquid Hot Magma]

I liked to decision to not paint “V6”. Makes it more visible. Nice touch.

Was it done with high temp paint or powder coated?

powder coat

If anyone has them I would like the part number for the cover and gasket.

strange..i guess the forum did a purge or something.

Great color choice. Very cool without being garish

I really dig that! Is that a sparkle I see in the finish? Very cool if it has a flake.

Agree, it’s nice. I’m leaning towards color matching the calipers. Wish Lotus would just make it an option like the Evora.

@VL3X can we merge this with the other supercharger painting thread?

Looks great! Like the V6 pop and the color. Nice

Did the painters tell you what they did to the V6 part?

I merged the two similar threads I could find. Send me a link if there's another one I'm missing.

That what I want to do, will have to figure out a yellow powder coat that matches the calipers

Does this color match the calipers if so , what powder color is it and from which vendor?

 

[andreino14]

RAL 1023 RIPOL It's the color that comes closest

I want to do this but keep the V6 bare metal like the =LOTUS=

My only concern about doing something like this is it being a distracting reflection in the rear window when I'm looking through the rear view mirror. How much reflection is there now with the stock cover?

My dealer (Denver) said that if they were the ones who removed and reinstalled the supercharger cover it would not void the warranty.

Does anyone have the part number for the cover?

Only lotus would void the warranty for removing a cover.. doubt any other manufacturer would even care.

I’m don’t think they can void a warranty for that. They can say whatever they want but there are some decent right to repair laws on the books. Powder coating the cover would be a fight for them to deny engine coverage.
