and juss for kicks...

 

ummm, you missed one!

how come you didn't paint the airbox? Did you use high temp paint?
Looks awesome, congrats!

 

did you smooth out the covers?

 

looks very clean. are they clear coated?

 

doesn't look cleared to me

 

thanks! and not yet.



maybe i should get on that soon...haha

 

lol, you don't have to if you like the matte finish look.

looks fine by me

 

yeah still deciding if i want this look or the glossy clear look, ill prolly roll around with this for a few weeks and change my mind later.

 

looks sick bro, why didn't you do the airbox?

 

lol. well i would like to get an intake soon so it wont matter that i didnt paint it, and i was running low on paint and i def wanted to get the engine cover done. annd i juss used regular paint for plastic, BlueAngel, a guy at the meets i go to told me thats what he used, and it hasnt melted or anything in my engine yet

 

come out to the tuesday night meets and you can see some of ours.......

 

You can tell they are not. Look at the second pic.

 

wow I havent seen a stockish engine bay for a long time!

 

Over time the paint and/or clear coat will eventually crack due to high heat in the engine bay. Seen it happen so many times with the wrong type of paint applied.

 

what type of paint did u use? and what did u use to clean the covers frist?

 

"annd i juss used regular paint for plastic"

 

hmm. so what can i do to fix my problem then..what should i be using

 

You need to get some "One Shot" paint, that is the best ****. I use to air brush with it on metal

 

they look alot better in person, throw some clear on the there and you should be good

 

Dude I did mine on my AT and it wont last, clear coat or not. He need better paint

 

Well at least they look good for now.

 

Hell yea

 

dang now that's a red engine bay.

 

i've though about doing this, but I want it to be smooth and glossy, not 'matte' looking. Should I smooth out the plastic first?
