they have green, purple, blue and i think smoke
its Duplicolor Metalcast paint
they tell u to use THEIR ground coat for painting on painted stuff, but i used chrome paint instead, chrome paint looks smoother and has less metal flakes in it so it looks clean in my opinion...

and no i did not paint the grooves of the pulleys
u know... my old ones died, so i painted my new ones....these damn pulleys are hard to find... i go to local part stores kragen, checkers... autozone, and they don't have these pulleys....
luckily i found a place with one....and then i wanted to paint them like other people on this forum =D

Have I ever mentioned how much I love MetalCast?
Looks good. FWIW, I find that their ground coat is great when you want a candy finish. The flakes are HUGE, but when buried in multiple coats of MetalCast, the effect in the sun is amazing...

Yeah Metal Cast kicks ***.
I sprayed my hood prop, AFM, BAC,pulleys,wastegate solenoid/actuator,and Oil tube.
Just sand and clean it up. Then apply the metal cast grey/silver base. Then spray your fav color.
Although watch out it does tend to flake a bit and stick for a while.
Also If you do the PS pump make sure you put it on the right way. I put it on backwards and offset the pulley. An hour later I new it because of the horrible noise from the PS. DOH!

putting it down daily
Ah yes, you are just a tad north of me- I work to the south (Clearwater) and work graves, so it is rare to spot me in the daytime. Good to see some local rotary folks!
