I searched and couldnt find any silver and black engines before I did this so I just hoped it would look alright. Here are the pics of mine:

 

Thats pretty damn sweet. What kinda paint did ya use?

 

and another

 

looks pretty good! What did you use? did you have it together when u painted it or apart?

 

Why did you paint the spark plug and the oil injector?

 

mine is silver and black...mines in the car now though, so it's kind of hard to take pics

 

Would you want to be spraying paint into the spark plug holes? I doubt it. He was just filling the holes while he painted.

 

Looks nice. Atkins Rotary www.atkinsrotary.com sells lots of their rebuilt engines painted like that. I always see lots on ebay from them.

 

looks very nice

 

thanks for the compliments. Its just regular old 1200 degree paint. I left the oil injector in b/c I dont need it...I got it with the housings and I know my others are good. I had some other plugs in the other holes but those were only hand tightened in and the other ones are too tight to get out at home without a socket (which is at the garage)

 

Yeah Atkins sells theres like that.. Judge Ito has one brand new in the shop painted like that... also he has gotten into a kick of painting engines Mine's red and silver

 

Nice engine im going with a gunmetal and black when i do mine. -Gabe

 

Yeah, I have an Atkins Engine in my TII done up like that. It is beautiful when you crack open the box. Like a warm fuzzy feeling all over

Anyone have pics of one with black paint and polished housings?

 

I was going to do that revolution but my housings were a little pitted and stuff when I got done cleaning them...they appeared to be a PAIN to polish and clearcoat

 

I saw a motor at atkins that had a chrome plated front cover and housings. The cast irons were still painted black though.

 

Very Nice!

 

Arpus....
that engine was polished by Eric Hayes (no relation to the Hayes of WA with bad rep)....He does all his polishings. He's a cool guy to know. You can see him at most of the car shows in Seattle and Tacoma.
