Hey was wanting to see pics of engines and the paint colors yuo choose. I am thinking about going green or even purple. Just wanna see what colors took good. Thanks guys and gals.

 

Black Irons with Red rotor housings looks good!

 

mines black with cusco blue...looks freakin sweet!!

 

Mines dark grey with Castrol GTX Black lol

 

you all have pics?

 

My latest rebuild will be black with yellow housings
If it sounds like an angry Wasp it must look like one too

 

My 2nd gen is candy pruple, the widebody is candy teal. I could say search under my username, lol, might take a while. Here's the link to the teal, I can post a purple pic later if you want. https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-293/unvieling-12a-bp-widebody-462184/

 

stay off red paint as it will turn sort of orange after.

tarnished alliminum and surface rusted iron. lol

 

How much is a while?

 

Black irons and silver housings for me:

 

powder coated...


this is what we paint all our rebuilds unless the customer wants a specific scheme as above... this way, tho, keeps that fresh and new look going

 

 

My choice black irons and silver housings

 

For blue irons, semi-polished housings.

Kindered spirits

 

Oops...that should have said FORD blue irons...

LMAO! was the first thing i thought of when i saw the engine pic! cool you found the vdub pic for me

 

TII Streetport



3rd gen bridge

mine is black with uncleaned brandnew housings

lots of the black enamel got cracked off when i was putting the thing back in the car

Theres a lot of leaky sumps out there Hope mine doesn't

my engine used to be castral gtx black

 

Powdercoating definitely stands up better than paint...and paint on the rotor housings is always doomed to look bad quickly. If I do anything for myself, I usually do black on the plates and nothing on the rotor housings.

This is a customer's motor, done in red and silver flake powdercoating:



Here is one in dark metallic grey and silver:



And the classic Black and natural:

 

Blake glad you chimed in I know you all bust have some pics of some of the more off colors? I kinda wanna do something different But i still love the red and silver and red and black
