pics on car tomorrow, i likes!

masking/cleaning-







after semi-gloss black-





ribs sanded and polished-

 

You SOB, Exactly what im planning to do, What paint did you use?

 

looks great stu

 

OMG... lose those ghey ass blue bolts! That just ruined the thread for me. I had some good comments lined up for you too.

You want 4 Stainless Bolts? I has some? $5 shipped. They are a perfect match - Hex head.

 

just dupli-color semi gloss 500* engine paint

3 coats

 

Any spray paint will work. High Heat Engine paint is recommended though.

I used Krylon Wrinkle Black on mine.

 

i like my blue bolts, thats my way of convincing people im stage 2 lol

 

I'd think that the shiney pulley would give that away...

 

So you painted it then sanded down the ribs? I was thinking id polish them then paint it and while the paints wet take like a Q-tip and whipe the paint off the tops of the ribs

 

ss's are rare here, noone knows anything

i thought about sanding first, but i just figured this would be easer than messing with wet paint

 

Yeah, But i really like the shine on his so thats why i asked

 

Then how would they know that the Blue Bolts meant is was a Stg2? Haha... you'd think that they'd see all the blue was worn off and know that something was up.

 

rob, you are messing with me too late at night. your lucky i dont have any beer lol.

 

Here... have mine:

 

what size bit do you need to take off the fuel rail shroud btw? i've been wanting to take it off but can't find a bit and been lazy..would you like to tell me what size? i've had the paint for like 3 weeks

 

Are you serious? Its a 30 TORX, IIRC. If you had trouble with that... have fun taking the blower off.

 

..dude its called being so lazy u don't even wanna get off the couch its not exactly hard to find a bit and stick it in a hole to see if it fits properly

 

Like I said... if you are that lazy, then good luck with taking the blower off.

 

its not hard to take the blower off though im sure if i really set my mind ot it one day after all this god damn fog goes away and gets a bit warmer then i'll start to do all this stuff..i got my h&r sports sitting in my closet now for a week

 

There's a trick to it... but its pretty simple. Getting the belt back on can be a bitch.

 

Nice! Did you sand the unit down before painting? Primer at all?

 

no sanding or primer.

on car pictars-

 

That sure does look good!

 

Not bad stu... Makes me wanna polish the ribs on mine also. Except I sanded the blower down completely so it's smooth. For some reason I like the unsanded look much better than mine...

 

yea i kinda like the roughness to it. dont really know why
