Thread: Higher Than a Kite!

...off fresh paint Decided it was a good time to pull everything apart and paint it motor wise since i had all the gaskets anyway and wanted to change it up since my last set up wasn't really original. So tonight i painted my blower, smooth front valve cover and fuse box cover for now, will be doing more soon come this weekend.

Also came across something pretty bad... while pulling off my fuel rail, i noticed gas squirting out of the side... well, i found a pin hole leak at the corner of the rail and it could have started my car on fire! I got real lucky finding that now.. So come paycheck day, I'll be taking a trip down to ZZP and picking up some modded rails. So good thing the car is parked for the winter Now onto the pics, quality isnt the greatest as its from my phone, but you get the idea.

BEFORE: Everything is black and silver..



AFTER:

Started with a primer filler/sealer first...

Then first coat of dark blue metalic..

Then hit the valve cover with blue AFTER putting on a few decals []

Pealed the decals off and hit everything with clear..


Put the valve cover on after it dried...





Also remember when finished there wont be ugly ass fuel rails anymore, nice and powdercoated ZZP modded rails with one billet line going over the blower. I think it looks tits and original, not may people have this color combo so thats why i went with it. Might be a little to "out there" for some people, but i like it. I know there will be some haters, but i dont care, its my car

I loke your car. Time for some engine bay LOVE.

VERY nice job on the blower.. im sure pics do no justice.

hey jeremy... i love that blue color and that will look amazing under the hood. it will really set it off .

(p.s.- dont forget bout the tips haha)

add some some coats of that same blue to some other parts. and i'd say ur done.

I have a lot of stuff I'm going to be painting this week. stay tuned

looks good!

looks amazing! hell i'd be satisfied just to have clean valve covers lol!

paint the diagonal braces and ur done.

Painted some more shiiiit.

Blower completely dry and finished!






Strut tower brace painted silver with GRAND PRIX in the paint. NO this is not a decal []



Also painted the dog bones and braces blue, the braces center will be painted silver once the paint dries and i can tape it off. Its coming together nicely! Also painted the coil bracket gloss black with a metalic flake

Very nice, one day I'll get around to painting my car, THEN I can worry about the engine bay...

i always kept my hood closed.

looks nice, man.

only thing i would have done different is taken the snout bolts out to paint and left them black.

Cross braces done.


Coil bracket put on, i used a mirrage clear coat, when light hits it, it changes colors [&o]




Dog bone on.



Supercharger makes it way on []






Still trying to think what im gonna do with the dog bone mounts, not sure yet on what i wanna do with those yet.

awesome!

now, clean it out, make it sparkle, tuck wires and u win.

looks good Jeremy

Looks great

I like it alot. I think you should try and do something with the alternator as well, maybe black chrome would look cool on it

now u just gotta work on cleaning up the rest of the engine bay but it looks really nice jeremy and really really pops i love it
