[badass98svt]

Well, I'll be PCing a few motor parts next week. just wondering what everyone else has done.

I havent powdercoated any of my stuff, I paint it but just to give you some ideas this is my alt and painted matched CAI

Can't believe no one else has PCed anything...

 

[Rice_slayer]

I have my accesory brackets done black and pullies done in chrome...

 

[badass98svt]

Do you know if the chrome PC was clearcoated?

 

[Rice_slayer]

yep, it was. It's a silver/chrome powdercoat, they look nice, I got the Power steering, water pump, and crank pullies done.

I did my own paint job for about 40 bucks.

Here is a poor photo of my buddies Mach 1. Powercoated the blower black and valve covers red.

What colors are those?

The matte black I bought looks similar to your color.

What red did you use on your car? Laser red is TOUGH to match in a can. I have a DupliColor red that is prett damn close that i use for mics stuff, but ( want to PC this stuff.


These are the 2 powders I bought. Not sure if i want to do the Cam covers, intake, crossover tube and CAI pipe in all Matte Black, or maybe do the covers, intake, CAI pipe in silver with a matte black crossover tube.

I can always buy a different color is someone gives me a better idea.


Here's a very old pic of under the hood. LOL this pic is about 4 years old.
I'm open to suggestions...

Check out TxCobra, he did some powdercoating I believe.

The red is "Electric Current Red". Yeah it's not perfect but it's pretty darn close. The blower is a high temp semi gloss black and the Cam covers are a Metal flake semi high temp black.

I basically powdercoated every part on my motor, and I did it all myself. I've done a bunch of parts for other people's cars too.

Wow paul, that looks stellar. I was kind of thinking of going with the same theme. Mostly black with a few silver accent pieces.

great job! I plan on doing it myself as well.

powdercoated upper intake, valve covers, and timing chain cover semi gloss black.

 

[badass98svt]

Booya. That looks great. That's pretty much what i've been thinking of doing. The black i have looks flatter than the finish on yours, right? Or is just me?

Either way, looks great. What cobra emblem is on your intake? is it the billet one?

 

[TxCobrA98]

nope, the powdercoat process turned the original color to bronze and it the film to protect baked on. so i got nail polish remover and it came out all silver. i was like, cool. lol

and yeah, that powder looks more flat then mine. mine is more semi gloss then that.

Paul, thats amazing work. Is that motor for your snive or the fox?

 

[Paul]

That's my notch motor.

I also did this one for my friend:

Paul.
