Engine bay parts going in for powder coating - what colour?
Im sending off a bunch of parts to the powder coaters and cant decide on colours...got any pic for some ideas?
Im a big fan of satin colours and arnt interested in polishing bits. Heres a few I was toying with using either gun metal colour or a flat grey maybe. Im thinking of a flat black now though http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...yhighlight.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...ehighlight.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...bluehighli.jpg |
I like the flat black idea
|
have you considered a different color for every part?
i always thought that would be pretty funny and creative.... |

second pic, but keep the tb the same colour as the cooler piping =D

Isnt there a few people on this board that have a mat black detailed motor? Anyone know who they are?

Not sure, but is it such a good idea to powder coat the T-body? And unless you press the bearing out of the idler pulley, you won't be able to powdercoat that either. The alternator stator and stock plastic Power Steering pulley should just be painted as well IMO.

And yes, the idler bearing has been pressed out :icon_tup: |
I'm partial to silver or ceramic chrome. :)

Yeah way I see it is there are a few things that only come in one colour (or things I cant be bothered replacing) like the speedflow fittings and pushlock hose (all mainly blue with a bit of red). The Pipe joiners that are currently in blue are available in red....but cost an arm and a leg so im not willing to spend that mush just for a change in colour.
Filter I will look at dying black or something (I cant find a different filter that fits the T51R and the tight space I have) Soo looks like the constants are going to be: Blue joiners Blue pushlock hose Blue and red fittings Blue vacume hose (are we seeing a blue theme here lol) And black engine bay I would rather not end up with a rainbow so might just stick with the blue details and find a colour to match....I quite like that light flat grey I think. |
filter
torque brace blue couplers.... imo fix those accordingly theyre kinda and eyesore when everything else looks black and blue.. |
this is what i did with mine the colors are also known as "super durable wet colors" and don't scratch easy there are a few red accents that are hard to see the "turbonetics" on the turbo and "greddy" on the elbow.
