I picked up a new engine cover Ive had made from aluminium. It looks great and I'm really please. So now moving on to finishing. I'll be fixing sound proofing inside, and i think I've found the right stuff but asking for opinions from those who have done this. What have you used, and which adhesive would be compatible with aluminium? Finally, I will leave this as bare chequer plate but should I wish to paint it, any suggestions on paint type? Thanks peeps.

Drop me a pm or reply, I am going out from Christchurch 7.30 ish.

Hi Trev, Wow that looks great mate I think my soundproofing was sticky backed, but if not I would use something like CT1 to fix it. Or simply ask the supplier for their recommendation. I could ask Pete in Quay West chandlers if you want. On Alfresco the edges and joins were sealed with tape bought from the same supplier as the sound proofing sheets. I remember that this quite expensive though. Ref the chequer plate, I left mine bare and it is still in good nick after 18years, it has dulled quite a bit now though. Gary Austin treated his, when he built Prodigy and it stayed looking like new.
