Adz Posted March 24, 2015 Share 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...

RobPhoboS Posted March 24, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a lot of time and effort, and still had a few areas that I wasn't happy with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
