Wow! Yep. I'd call that blue alright. Powder coat? High temp paint? Mix of both? (I've found that caliper paint with clear coat will last a surprisingly long time when ya can't powder coat something.)

Either way, someone's a) got some work ahead of them, and b) is about to have some new engine bay pix to show!

And the wifey? She's cool with the path from the dining room to the living room being blocked with all that "car junk"? When I do somethin' like that Carole just rolls her eyes and shakes her head, like she does when the teenage son wears his shirt inside out as a fashion statement.

Interesting. I can't imagine the paint will hold up on those rubber bits under temperature. It may flake off. How did you paint those peices?

Put down the paint gun and step away from the vehicle.

That's a lot of work..
Should look cool with the black exterior.
What made you decide on blue?

some of them might be, but those formed hoses are not, unless he had them custom made, for significant $

We had the pieces professionally powder coated. Susie didn't complain, I had the parts picked up within the hour for that half of the living room...lol

The hoses are not painted. They are custom made 100% silicone.
