Ok guys I'm thinking about painting my VC and SC. I was wondering what some thoughts on what kind of sheen I should go with. I got my colors black and slime green. I want to maybe paint the whole valve cover black and the spark plug cover too, but I want some green on it somewhere but not sure yet. Ok next, the supercharger im going to spray black but then the ribs on it im wanting to do green. Alright tell me what you think and I appreciate the feedback.

 

corny IMO. Lime green? Fairly original but it's for a reason......it's LIME GREEN! ha Not trying to be a dick man. I've never been a fan of colors like that. It's too Fast and Furious; too pretentious; too "look at what I did to MY car"; too clashy. Bright colors like that just don't earn any respect IMO.

 

Thats fine man understood, but I do like to be original. Just dont want to do the same ole same ole ya know lol

 

What color is your car?

 

Black

 

I did both the valve cover and supercharger in wrinkle black and the spark plug cover in satin black. Keeps an OEM look but it still stands out when you look at all silver parts.

 

Got any pics of the finished product

 

I did my valve cover and supercharger in wrinkle black as well. I love the way it looks

 

 

Damn nice guys ok how about that look but lime green ribs and stenciling on the spark plug cover in lime green?

 

Do it up. It's different.

 

Doing the ribs never seems to turn out right. Not saying yours wouldn't but it takes more sill for them to turn out perfect.

 

Just painted my charger black and my vc red..Ill get pics when its back together lol My k&n intake tube is a lil roughed up may paint it too

 

Thanks for the opinions and support guys il take some more and then start the little project this friday :

 

Oh and also what prep did yall go thru i mean what grit(s) did you sand with basically?

 

Off topic but, Klloyd, Hows that ZZP intake fit on the 07 comparative to you old injen intake? And how much closer to the ABS mod is the intake with that tb spacer?

 

I used a scotch brite pad on my supercharger the best I could and the paint held great just do light coats.. and I had my vc sandblasted

 

I like this

 

both those above engine bays look mint

 

Where did yall get the wrinkle black paint from?

 

All the intakes are a tight fit, it's close but it doesn't rub on anything. The spacer isn't even an inch bigger so I just fed a little more of the intake into the rubber boot. I also have the phenolic spacer so everything moved towards the radiator about 1/4".

I got my wrinkle black from autozone but you can find it in black and red on ebay for the same price.

 

Try the green **** it

 

Autozone etc. has wrinkle black VHT brand last time I checked

 

Thanks man! It's gonna look even better when the black TVS is bolted on . The thing is so glossy I need sunglasses to look at it lol.

 

What intake is that bluelightning? And op, I'd paint the SC black and paint the ribs lime green.. and the same for the VC
