well, i painted my valve cover this afternoon took me 3.5 hours. i think it looks real good. to bad im not gonna show ya'll till im done. sure wish i could find a color to match the exterior.

anyone else done any appearance enhancing mods to their engine bay.

 

Ooh cant wait to see pics. Gonna get my engine plastics and interior painted gloss black soon.

 

Heres a pic of Chris's max off cardomain. Not sure if hes on here or not...



I was wanting to do mine too. Im not so sure about white though...

 

well i already did the valve cover. just trying to think of something to do with the other pieces.

 

That could take awhile to decide...



Lets see what youve got so far

KC, chernmax is not a member of this forum. Later Warren

 

you tease......

 

^^thats a nice engine bay


when are u gonna post yours already??

 

what color would he do it? his car is the radiant amber, just wondering..

 

I think the same color would be hot? I mean i like the stock black but i think it would be more appealing to match it with the color. white, blue, red, wouldnt match at all. Silver would look cool maybe, but then the lettering on it is silver already right?

 

well ive actually found some paint that i got that with one coat is close but ive used a couple coats and it is really close to the matching color. however it is dificult to do without screwups, drips and runs and such. so it is taking me a little longer than i want it to but if i want it to look really good i guess i have to put in the time. unfortunatly i cant work on it today, ive got duty untill 2400 tonight(those of you with military experience know what im talking about). so hopefully all will be said and done by sunday maybe saturday. then, i might show you guys.

 

Yes, I wanna see pics!!!!

 

alright here are some pics. but please note that i am not done by any means. so no freaking rude remarks. if you do have an opinion or comment please feel free to let me know. im not done on the orange pieces either so take it easy. but please note the detail on the valve cover. everyone that ive shown has thought that was the way the car came so it came out really well. the pics may not do justice.

 

that color is close to the body paint, looks good..... wuz up with the stripes? don't look bad though....

 

i was originally going to do like a checkered flag look but it took me three hours just to do that. i just wanted something different.

 

Looks good and also very original ...nice job !

Nice job on the body-colored covers. I think it would be even better if the top of ur Street Scene grill were painted body-color too. A bold but good move would be to powercoat ur whole grill body-color. Maybe sparq can photoshop it!!

Stripes are unique but very nice. Well done!!

 

ive got plans for a lot of bodycolored parts its not done yet. i ran out of the paint. actually the whole town ran out of the paint. so i have to make a road trip to savannah to find some more.but thanks for your input.

 

what paint was that? did you match it by factory color code?

 

no. it is actually called duplicolor metalcast paint, with duplicolor ground coat. it is suposed to have an anodized look to it. but to dull the anodized look to match the car i just used multiple coats should turn out really good when done. plus it is rated at 500 degrees. not sure if i can use it on my calipers though.

 

very different, i like it though

 

 

 

AWESOME sparq. Ur the king of photoshop. MAXMALE: I say powdercoat ur grill body-color!!! Go for flames if u feel lucky

 

Aww..u make me blush now..stop it with the compliments already!
Can u really powder-coat things in any color? For some reason I thought you can only powder-coat black?!..I'm probably wrong huh?

 

Maxmale...any more updates on the project?

Sparq

 

well i finally did the intake but im having the hardest time finding the paint. im going to have to go to charleston on my way to myrtle beach and see if i can buy some up there. by the way there is a car show in myrtle beach this weekend if anyone is interested. i am.
