im trying to figure out how to tone everything down a bit... im looking to do a stripe down the side and a few dark things under the hood. its not bad when you see it in person it doesnt blind you as much as it does on here

thats my meth bottle setup

maybe do the ribs on the blower black, just some simple black touchups it'll look kick ass, looks good tho! And black the bowties on the centercaps

So you left it there and your brother did all the painting? Or did he just wash it? Either way it looks awesome.

well known.. Yellow+ Black love each other on the ol color wheel.

newb question here to guy... to pain the interior plastics and engine bay **** like that .. or w/e.. even badges.. like the bow-tie an stuff...

What kind of paint would I use? Would I just get a lil can of spray paint from GM service dept up at my dealer? Matching my color code?

i did the side exhaust wich is now gone it was very restictive i lost over 30whp with it on the car. i left the car over the house he powdercoated the rims and painted all the rest... i do like the idea of painting the ribs on the sc black it would break it up enough to look killer. i was also thinking of painting the door handles black. and the center of the wing and little side pieces

Take a look at my signature. I have plans to accent badges and all engine bay paint work with black... yellow primary+ black secondary always looks decent if done in the right amounts.

Our turbos don't have anything cool to paint like your supercharger and cover and what not.. I gotta take a closer look at the bay tho once I get my car


I def agree you should streak those ribs with black paint.. Yellow jacket style baby!

How does everyone feel BTW about the yellow center caps on those black powder-coated rims?

I dig the yellow valve cover and calipers. However, I think painting the supercharger and wheel caps yellow was overkill.
