Thread: Two toned Gen V

I posted this on the other two but I was so pleased with the results i need more attention.


First I cleaned the case with brake clean and air hosed it off. I buffed the case real good with a grey scotch bright and air hosed it off. Then i took a rag and lacquer thinner and wiped it all down and then air hosed it off. Gave it three medium wet coats of some high build primer.



Once the primer was dry i sanded with some 320 grit paper.



Once i was done sanding i air hosed it off and sprayed it with auto prep in a can(spay alcohol essentially) and wiped it down and then hosed it off. I then proceeded to spray a silver color on the fins of the blower and snout.



I then masked off the parts i wanted to stay silver.



I then wiped em down with the auto prep again and hosed em off. Then i sprayed a burgundy color that matches some powdercoating i already have in the engine bay.



Here is an old pic of the engine bay



I'm very happy with the results. I had like 1% bleedage past the masking and the lines turned out great.











And coming next are the valve covers

^ i thought of doing that but, ultimately at that time i was tired of painting and i decided it was finished.

That looks bad ass dude. Nice attention to detail.

Would of looked butter smooth if the casting of the aluminum was smooth, but having texture is kinda cool too.

Again, nice work.
