Well I decided to paint some of my motor today. First I did the Alternator, Took it apart, removed the guts and painted the front and back cover. It looked so good I decided to do the Upper Intake. I think it looks great... (ala blue)



So I was wondering anyone else paint their motors? I'd like to see some pics. I'll post a few pics once I get it done.



I'm waiting on my injectors before I bolt it all back together.

you did a real nice job. i'm not a fan of painted engine parts though. you know me i'm a bling bling kind of guy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Ya the Blue matches my rollbar https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I'm going to replace that hose with a stainless hose before I put it all back this weekend. I'd like to get a new waterneak. I still have a small leak in mine and coolant gets out. This is after replacing the cap with a brandnew one.



I painted the CAS cap to match also. I need to do something with the WIRES... Damn Wires.

Wow that looks SWEET. That's too much work for me... or money... Very nice though.
