He indeed did a great job and good detail on the parts he didnt paint! Hey Alot of RED just isnt my thing but dont get me wrong it does look good, I hope he likes it. its nice work. Id be proud i did that good on something too!

 

I admire your ambition Danny.

 

Seriuosly, you don't like those? I have the same RRDP boots in blue and they look great and perform even better! I love em!

 

It would look sweet if you went over the lettering on the turbo where it says garrett in silver or another color so the name stands out!

 

Update- now that I got the motor back in, and the wiring harness on, I really can't see a whole lotta red LOL. Not that I wasted my time, but was kinda hoping for more red, or more cowbell LMAO!

 

I got the pic message last night Danny it looks awesome!. I am looking forward to the its running text or call!!

 

Looks good Danny, really hope it runs as good as it looks

 

Please update us with pictures with the engine installed. The red is going look great in the engine bay. Nice work man!!!

"looks like you got a fever, and the only cure is more RED"

 

I bet you a beer that it does, it looks killer and will run even better!!

 

What kind of paint is that? I recall you said it was ~$40/qt. Is it automotive paint, or a high temp epoxy type paint? Is it an adhesive/bonding primer?

 

I got it from Eastwood.com, someone on here told me about it. It's actually ceramic infused, so it'll dry even harder once the engine warms up. Trick is, trying to get the passenger IC tube on w/o scratching it- never been able to so far....

 

Looks real good Danny, hope it runs as good as it looks also. For the install of that IC pipe and it not getting it scratched, any way for you to bake that pipe, in an oven per say to cure the ceramic even more to minimize scratching it..Just a thought, I remember Powerstroke Ron baking his turbo exhaust housing and related parts in his oven at home I believe, lol..It worked..

 

Well it's not a real ceramic paint, Eastwood just claims that it has high heat resistant properties, up to 650*. If I wasn't in a rush, as I always am about the time it's ready to install the IC pipes, I'd take the time to wrap them in shipping paper, that would keep them from getting scratched.

 

3M painters masking tape works great to prevent scratching. I use it when I asseble chrome and painted parts after mock up on scoots. Works terrific but cost 6 bucks a roll.
