long as my enigine is all in pieces i was gonna paint some of it and im starting with the valve cover and i want sum type of color theme im most def. painting it black but im not sure what to paint the lines on it i dont want to do the traditional grey so i was gonna go with either Red (my dad said it will look like a saab) or like an m3 blue. any input ? what do u guys think
P.S. spelling and punctuation can go screw
-
some ideas the black red yellow is mine you can do this with m3 colors or you can paint it black like the small black cover on honda's S2000

what color is your car and engine bay. if white, i like red. black then a darker color, like flat black to keep the stealthness.
-

nice i think i may have a go at the COP moD

I am in the process of redoing my VC and intakes...VC installed--intake (upper and lower in the works). Was thinking of powder coating them, but I am to damn cheap...lol
Steps I took.
1. Clean the piss out of the parts. I used "Aircraft Remover" to strip the parts.
2. Primed with "Adhesion Promoter"
3. Painted with Dupli-color Textured Metallic
4. Sanded "stripes and logo" to bare metal
5. Clear coated them
The VC is a little dirty right now....Don't punish me....lol
-
nice your intake manifold looks a hell of a lot cleaner than mine does. so what did you use beside the aircraft remover cause ive been going at my stuff with a wire brush on a air tool works good but not so much in the crevices
-
i like wizard's too that i mean then i say like honda S2000 his intake rocks

Just used the AR and a pressure washer. No scrubbing/sanding required. Just don't get that AR stuff on your skin....Will burn like a MoFo....lol
-
then i paint my cover i sandblasting it with glass :) it looked like a new one (maybe better)!!!!

I love alpina roundels! way more than BMW ones.. very unique, and the crank on they is a 4 cyls...

and the dual carbs (or ITB's if you want) are Awesome and nuvolarossa this is something to think about it :D is the alipina switchtronic. Another good idea but it cost is to airbrush alpina roundel on your vavle cover very unique!
-
do you guys think over cleaner would work well to clean aluminum parts?
and i was thinking of painting my valve cover with the //m colors like that pic
-
I did mine red. Glass beaded it then painted it with Dupli Color High Heat paint with Ceramic. It came out quite well and has held up nicely.

I did my intake manifold Cast Coast Aluminun(another Duplicolor spray bomb)
My car is alpine. I like the red with the white. Kinda flashy but everyones is black or silver.
