bigphil Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Eventually we got round to painting a standard engine cover to see how it would come out. This one has been done in the Ford Focus ST Orange Pearl. The textured finish of the original cover has been removed altogether leaving a perfectly smooth body finish. These can be done for £90 in any colour not just the 350Z colour range. Cost will be £90 on an exchange basis. Just another alternative to the carbon etc. Comments welcome. Quote
Stew Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Nice. It'd be nice to see the V6 3.5 done in a different colour though - perhaps not possible though! Quote

Stew Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 You know you want to....... A nice custom design with orange and carbon could be nice james.... Quote

bigphil Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 Very very nice but what colour would go with yellow other than yellow? midnight purple, we did this on the rocker cover of a yellow Evo a while ago, looked absolutely stunning, shame we don't have any pics. Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 The 3.5 V6 is an absolute pain in the arse to mask. I did mine in yellow myself, but with the time it took waiting between coats, sanding, painting, waiting, sanding, painting, waiting - repeat as necesary, then if you can get someone else to do it, I would Watch the Cusco stickers on the brace though - those braces dont half get hot after driving for a while, and if you lean on the sticker when its warm, it will come straight off, wont it James? Purple does actually look nice against yellow - my grounding kit has yellow cables and looks fine - but there is so much black surrounding the engine cover, its this you have to stand out against rather then the body colour, so maybe purple would look lost in a Z bay?

Nick U Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Oh yes, like that a lot. Any sugestions what colour would suit a gunmetel under the bonet? Oh, and I guess you could do the battery and fluid covers to match, or maybe to much! Quote

Oh, and I guess you could do the battery and fluid covers to match, or maybe to much! colour choice is a very personal thing, having said that Shire has used an orange theme under the bonnet of his Gunmetal and it looks stunning so the one we have shown would go very well. Yes the other covers can be done as well. Quote
Stew Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 James, you need to get a custom Nismo sticker made up with an orange O Quote
