I had a little time on my hands yesterday and a can of chili red paint. Started out I was just going to do my coolant tank.. progressed to a little more I need a few more blue bits and polish a few more aluminum parts but I'm happy so far.





If you have done some painting please post up your pictures

 

That looks tied-together really well! Did you re-spray the subframe rails and shock towers with Chili Red, or just clearcoat them?

Nice work man

 

That does look great.. now you need some fierce eyeballs!

 

i like it!
how hard was painting the horns??
I've been wanting to do that for a while.
now you need eyes!

 

Thank you
I did a little touch up a few weeks ago on parts of shock towers and other factory chili red parts under the hood. I did not use clear however on them. I just used a little polish to shine them up. I did clear my coolant tank and Alta intercooler cover at first however it just did not look right. Matched the outside of car very good but not in engine bay. My choices was to clear all of engine bay or recoat the cleared parts again. I went with recoat on the cleared parts In a few days I will polish the newly painted parts to give them a little more shine.

 

Painting the horns is really not hard at all. Just a lot of taping and prep work. This is the 2nd time I have done the horns. The first time was a darker red metallic It looked very good until I painted more items red then it just did not look right.

Yes I have been thinking about eyes or something else

 

Nice!
