Seen and heard conflicting information....

I want my XE cover sprayed caribic blue, many people have said it can't just be sprayed normally as the heat will cause the paint to ripple, iceman has had his done and said it's fine and dandy......

Anyone got any definate answers?

Just use normal paint.

Both mine have been done with normal paint and they have been ok for 2 years.

Make sure you clean it really well, Thats the important bit

i doubt it will get hot enough to make the paint bubble, so it should be alright, you could always use a chemically hardened paint (two pack) will be even better.
