Looks like a tidy job.

Cheers.

 

I was half expecting to c**k it up tbh and drop the can of paint all over the engine (especially as I was having a pint at the time ),

 

...but thankfully that never happened and I kept my grip on the paint can so job was a goodun'.

Top effort there. Been thinking about doing mine for a while... Look out for the inspired by GM thread soon

That'd be fine by me. You should give it a go.

 

All you need is;

VHT paint (choice of colour, mine was gloss black) & a paint brush

Masking tape & news paper

Plus a beverage of your choice (mine was Carling )

 

Oh and some patience as masking all of it up in situ does take a while.

Be honest now, did you at any point take a gulp of paint whilst simultaneously dipping our paint brush in the beer though?

When we have the South Wales meet

you will be able to open your bonnet with pride and display your handiwork

.......and wait for all the admiring glances

I don't think it's that good yet but it's definitely getting better thanks.

Looking good GM! Bloody good job doing it in situ as well.

Thanks bud.

 

Not quite on par with your fantastic looking bay but I'm working on it.

[wizurd]

Cheers, I dare say your bay will be all modded up in no time mate looking good already.

 

I've gotta get on with doing the rest of it now plus the never ending list of other things I'd like to do we'll have to get a South Wales meet together.

Not an easy job in situ so a very good job,

[Mopedmark]

If you can get a meet on I'm sure we could bring a Posse down especially if it was a little nearer to the M4 bridge :wink:

That would be good as well. The more the merrier

Thumbs up to you GM for the pics of the plenum .

 

Did you just hand paint it ?

Hi Mike, yes I just hand painted it with a 1/2" paintbrush. Now it's all dried you can't see any brush strokes or anything so I'm pleased with it.

 

Did have a few bristles stuck on it though but pulled them off and touched up those areas.

[Piranha]

Inspired by this topic to paint my plenum in situ today .

 

Thanks GMbalistic

 

Here's before

Thanks I'm pleased it turned out ok.

 

Masking off took the main time, but didn't want to remove plenum so worth it.

 

Beats sitting in doors eating chocolate all day 😀

Look's like you did a good job of the masking off which as you say is the hardest part.

 

Kudos.
