well since my intake manifold and my valve covers are off. what color should i paint them? my car is smr (red) with a few touches of carbon fiber, black interior

im already painting the intake manifold top cover flat black along with some other smaller piece. my valve cover look like crap, the paint is starting to fall off, well it is falling off and bad (damn salty roads). so what color. paint everything flat black?


what color calipers? i will get them painted when i get the nsx calipers, will be powder coated. black, red, gold/bronze,yellow????

would like your opinoin.

here is my tl with the I/M and valve covers painted. along with the engine cover pieces

 

paint it red. but leave the coil packs black

 

might as well take them from my tl than.

 

i dont like tons of red color under the hood looks :ghey: to me

about calipers: go red

 

I also tend to not like too many different colors... I'd probably stick to SMR, black, and possibly a fresh coat of stock "silver", etc (Gosh, if I didn't mention it, my Accord is SMR, I love that color! ) As for the calipers, I am doing my blue CLS's in red and tend to stick with that, but on my Accord, since it is already red, I was thinking YELLOW... would keep a stock (performance) look and still stand out a bit...

just my 2¢

 

Dont think the red would look to bad. Help pull the style of the car from the outside under the hood.

 

well i done painting almost all the pieces. everything under the engine is gonna be flat black. looks sweet. will post pics when it dries and everything is put together.

 

Sounds great! One thing about our engine bays, they don't look very nice, even when they are clean...

 

valve covers. couldnt get all the paint off, 1hr on each valve cover just to take the paint off




didnt have time to paint the intake manifold


a bit dirty, but still looks good

 

Damn, its subtle, but very clean! Much better than rusty metal color, haha!

 

its not supposed to win shows or anything, just look better than the corroded and peeling paint that was their before

 

Yeah def, does its job very well. Very clean, great work man
