madmatt 10 Posted January 22, 2015 dont know if it's just a bad job but i had some borbets powder coated crome effect and the finish is not that impressive marks realy easy i normally run polished rims and much better as a quick polish every couple of weeks and all good.if you seal with a good wheel wax hardly need polishing at all.would think that would be ok on a rocker cover.as it copes with the heat and brake dust ok.
