While the head was off for a HG replacement, I decided tio dress up some engine bits. I used Dupli-color 500deg paint and clear (the cam housing still needs clear).

 

Looks good. I used the same paint on my cam housing. That was 2 years ago and it still looks like I painted it yesterday.

 

 

Thanks!

I could have done in Gator colors for you, Michelle...


But then, it's going to be a very long football season for you FSU fans as it is without me rubbing it in......

 

Tell me about it

 

Looks great Dan - nice work!

 

How did you get the Porsche lettering to be aluminum?

 

You can mask it or just buff off the top layer of paint after spraying. I masked.

 

I did the whole thing in black, then went at the letters with various sanding tools to smooth them out and get the paint off. A big belt sander made pretty short work of it even with 80 grit wood paper Then I did a palm random sander thingy with finer grits, and finally some 600 grit I think with a block.

 

I painted mine white. I did the letters first then masked them while painting the red.

 

Brian thats my cam housing except I have polished plugs... painting all of it and cleaning the letters with paint thinner and rag will work too
