thats what i did with mine, got a can from halfrauds and followed the instructions on it. i think you have to let it warm up then turn it off, spray and turn it on and rev it a bit.

thanks.did you have to remove any residue from the spray after or did you just leave it in there

i just left it as it was once i'd given it a revving, dont think there was any though
