Here's mine, it's an industrial paint that is resistant to chemicals and corrosion.

Mine wasn't rattle can paint, I used a spray gun... it's the same paint I used to do my black wheels as well. It's about the only paint i've found that doesn't chip.

it might look cool if you did it like silver with blue ribs, or black with blue like you said. hmm polished with blue might be cool too...you might be able to only see from straight on though with like reflections from a side view.

thats sounds confusing lol but just tryin to give you some ideas

Believe it or not I used BBQ paint. A nice flat black and the paint was inexpensive and did not need primer. $5 CDN a can. And you only need one can.

As for removing the S/C.....check out this how to:

Thanks man. Ya my buddy insist I use primer but if no one else did then I don't see the need to

K finally decided. Going with flat black, blue ribs, and MAYBE try to get some flake on the black

I primed the one I painted for the turbo conversion car. It was just a bare blower housing, no rotors in it, but it got painted gloss black after and it looked awesome.
