It took me all night but here it is.
A coat of red
All taped up, it took me forever
A coat of silver
All done, I just need to thouch it up around the letters
Also painted all my vents and shift knob
Where I painted everything, I know I'm crazy
Looks nice.

you need to clean that room maybe a good vacuuming
Spray painting in an enclosed space! Who needs beer?
looks pretty good man. why not just sand down those parts instead of painting them silver?
and didnt GI Joe teach you anything....

...and wouldn't have had those little spots where paint got behind the tape.....
I bought some matching paint to touch up around the letters. It's the first time I've ever painted any engine parts, so I'm still learning. I've painted vents before though, there easy. I'm planning on using the same red paint on my LO manifold whenever I'm ready to put it on. Your right, just claeaning and polising the parts I wan'ted silver would have been a lot better and easier, maybee I should have asked you guys before I did it, oh well.

I had my a/c on recirculate witch helped, but the room was otherwise completely unventelated. It didn't seem to bother me for some reason though. As for the floor.....lets just say I need to buy a new vaccum.
Hey WHITECAVY....did you remove your fuel rail when you painted your cam covers black? I have black paint to do the rest of the engine, I'm just not looking forward to all the work.
god that would give me a headache, hope your windows were open

Not to bump up this thread again or anything but...
No, I didn't have any windows open, paint just hasn't ever bothered me for some reason. And the steering wheel controls don't work anymore with the Alpine head unit in the car, I need to get another steering wheel. (and a house with a garage, I don't think my landlord likes me).

He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure David got most of his engine stuff professionally powdercoated. I don't think his engine is sprayed at all... and yes, it was definitely in pieces when he did that since it was part of a full engine swap. I think he got everything coated while he was piecing the motor together.
