Adz Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Got bored doing what im supposed to be doing today, and decided to paint the plenum and throttle body. Thought while my engine is in lots of pieces I'd get it done. Will upload pics of it fitted once car is in one piece. What do u think... Before After 3 Quote
Pritchard Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 thats a nice shade what colour code is it? 1 Quote
RobPhoboS Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Actually the before is pretty nice, what did you clean it up with ? I've got some black wrinkle to go on my one but that champagne colour could look pretty nice - depending I guess on the whole bay 1 Quote
Adz Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 It's just Hammerite smooth gold spray. When I first started spraying I was thinking it's gona be a horrible shiny gold, but turned out exactly how I wanted it, matt finish. I used a grey Etching primer underneath Quote

Took a lot of time and effort, and still had a few areas that I wasn't happy with 1 Quote

Adz Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for the appreciation people!! Loving the gold colour, ...not seen one done in that colour before so kudos for being different. Yeah that's 1 reason I chose the gold, also think it will go well with the body colour. Quote
terry06 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You've done a great job and like the colour. I agree it should work with the body colour well 1 Quote
