Painted it a metallic blue, thats going to match my custom short ram intake I built (filter comes in a few days!). Looks pretty dope.

 

Cool man, I may want to do that too. When you get a chance take some pics.

 

Ahoy ahoy

 

did u do it yourself? if so, what type of prep and paint are needed?

 

Yeah I did it myself. I just wiped it off with a wet rag and some soap, to get off all the dirt and oil...Then I covered the "V6" and the "3200", then I primed it, then I painted it with 3 coats. I used high temp engine paint and primer. Ahoy ahoy.

 

Yeah i did that a while back to. people thought it was a $$$ custom job but wat i did was use my frend's paint shop :-D I made mine Midnight Blue Peral and Candy Apple Blue with a Light metallic top coat. Gives the engine a kinda "shade shifting affect" good thing he had extra paint Oh yeah... and be sure that you have some sort of Flexinhibtor in your paint. THey told me it would extend the life and give the paint a little more heat and flex resistance :-D

The pics with the white thing on the middle was the vavles b4 i put the Midnight Blue Pearal on.

 

THis is after the final coat and Teflon coat
