Custom Rocker Cover Painting

[DaveO74]

Mmmmmmmm, interesting.

Dam you 75' why do you show me that stuff, you know I'm a whore for teh engine bay bling

[Adz2332]

God I have no imagination. Standing staring at the engine bay and can't imagine what I want more ideas and colours plz

[The Bogan]

$50 of VHT crinkle paint = a mans motor, I save the bling for the girls, LOL.

[zebra]

they are using those chrome coatings on drag cars and motorcross pipes, so I reckon it must be pretty good, even some of the professionals use those coatings like motoGP bikes and pro motocross as well as heaps of drag cars...

ye, but those guys don't care if it has to be re-done every 2nd race meet

post a hires pic of your engine bay and I'll shop it with different colours if you want... thats what I did for mine and I had a thread here to help me decide, its not until you can see the colours together on your engine bay that it can considered the right choice I reckon...

oh come on Zebra dont shoot it down... I want the chrome colour look.... Im gonna ask them how the motoGP bike fairs after a few race meets...

I know the commodore drag car they have done the whole engine bay on in chrome hasnt been redone ever and still looks awesome...

[Adz2332]

There it is!

Will be getting a shiney heat shield and a Tomei chrome coil cover....

Undecided what to do whit the strut brace, paint or get a new one etc etc

[DaveO74]

Needs some kind of cover for the battery. Carbon maybe???

[Adz2332]

Yer thats what i think to. but i cant find anything... the battery the way it is stands out like dogs balls...

Was thinking of getting some stainless steel and making something when i make the box for the pod

[DaveO74]

Yeah that'll work

Looks good yeah!

[75coupe]

the engine will need a heap more than some CF and a couple of parts painted to complete the over all pic...

[Adz2332]

That looks pretty cool! But I don't know now if the blue umm pops enough, like stand out in your face. I think kandy apple red does but I don't know about blue now

[75coupe]

I think because there is some black in the bay, electrical and vacuum hoses, that the contrast of the blue isnt enough.

so maybe reduce the black, easy way and cheaper than replacing or cover all of the tired look hose and wire coverings could be to use stainless steel sheet to cover all except engine, fuse box, air intake. that would make the engine the focus so any colour would 'pop', custom box, or arc intake box and cool fuse box cover. the only other thing you would see is the strut brace and possibly use some venting on the stainless covers to keep things interesting and functional heat wise perhaps...

that would tidy it up, give it that custom show look, easy to maintain and nowhere near as expensive as colour coding or replacing a heap of other stuff... definitely have a wow factor when you open the bonnet... i'll shop it up and show u...

[Adz2332]

That be good mate!

[Adz2332]

does candy apple red and a chrome coil cover work together tho?? i have a tomei coil cover to go on it

[75coupe]

kinda like this....

maybe a tad more space around engine to allow for some movement, but this way it keeps the focus on the cool stuff and makes it so you dont have to keep all the wiring and hoses in mint awesome condition to have a wow factor bay....

[75coupe]

or with red... and oops I forgot the strut brace on the previous one...
