painting stuff

I have recently painted a few things under the hood tell me what you think.I painted the Strut Bar, AEM CIA and the Rams that hold up the hood with a color change paint that goes from magenta to gold. The pictures were taken at night so you can't see the color change I will try and get better ones up soon.






This is where i need help. I would like to use the same paint on my valve cover. This paint is temped up to 500 degrees is that a high enough temp paint.

looks good man, i dont know if im the biggest fan of color change, but you did a nice job painting........try out the valve cover......i used the 1200 just to be on the safe side, but you might get away with 500......good luck

ps, is it just me or is that bypass a lil' close to the manifold?!?!

Clean Paint Job

Your engine bay looks great! I am not a big fan of the color change ether but thats why they make different colors. It wouldn't be any fun if we all made um look the same!

The main reason I am trying to use this color change stuff is so i would be diffrent i mean i haven't seen any one else do it. Diffrent is better and why not be orginal in what you do.
