What color paint?

Post by blazesxt » Sat Mar 11, 2006 11:18 pm

I have decided that I want to change the color of my valve cover. I am looking to go Blaze Red or Bronze. If I paint my vc Blaze Red I will paint my DC strut bar Bronze. What ya'll think??

I was originally thinking that the red you got was too bright. Color match it, but be careful of the heat it'll see. Powdercoat?

yeah.... I was planning on swapping on my stocker for now and look around for a powdecoater. I plan on painting my strut bars with high heat rim paint with a coat of clear coat.

Leave the strut tower bar alone. It looks good as is.
He is unworthy of the name of man who is ignorant of the fact that the diagonal of a square is incommensurable with its side.

I like it the way it is. But I would leave the strut bar alone. They look kick ass to begin with. But if you much go bronze, Do just the valve cover.
Actually, the Bronze VC, and leave the DC bar alone and I think that would look pretty kick ass!
