Powdercoat pics

[Frosty05]

I'm about ready to re-do my engine bay with some new powdercoat and I'm looking to steal some ideas.

Currently torn between candy red or candy blue, and planning on polished intake manifold, powdercoated VC's, radiator pipes, cai, tstat housing, and brake calipers and some other small pieces.
Matched plug wires too.

Show me what you got, or let me know what you think

I guess the humidity has gotten to my dumb ass...I thought the OP was Ralphie, thus my thinking he wanted to redo his already show stopping engine bay.

Lmao...I was thinking you were just a purist into the factory setup

Lol, nah bro I'm just a dumb ass that can't read. I'm a total fan of self expression and customization. The scheme I'm working on in my engine bay uses red, red snakeskin, carbon fiber, and some black and silver thrown in as well.

Is that all trophy cleaner & polish in the background?

 

[ralphie]

No..

No actually.....I used WENOL, in the blue tube to polish everything. That stuff is awesome...! Get it on Ebay....No besides...Trophies are dust collectors...Why would I clean them?

That does look great
love the no2 system....lol show AND go ;-)

The red with the black truck really pops.
With my silver though, I'm thinking candy blue over argent silver would really work good, with bits of polished aluminum too, maybe some led's to set it off.
Would give it a very cold look overall I would think

What did your intake polish run you? If you don't mind me asking

Good answer, at least you got your priorities straight. Truck comes first everything else second or third.

Cant exactly remember on the intake polishing...been awhile...lol Mirror Finish Polishing did mine in Mo. Sorry

I think you have a very good plan. Silver paired up with blue will rock.

Mine's not nearly the eye-candy as Ralphie's but here it is. The scheme may not be deemed normal but let me explain.. The gun metal and chrome with a touch of red was intended to match the current gun metal wheels, bright red brake calipers, red Nitrous tanks and carbon hood with a red pin-stripe.. I tried to follow as close as I could the original SRT colors of silver, red and black.

I'm looking forward to see some other awesome engine bays.

Sick looking 10 man!

Thank you. I don't know what else to do with her. I don't drive her much often. She only turned 74k miles a couple days ago from the 8 miles on the odo when I purchased her new in 2005. I recently added diamond white day time running lights but without following the circled pattern in the headlight casing. It's a 'C' pattern instead with the curved portion facing outwards from the grill on both sides. I need to take pics of that.

I like your idea of blue with silver. That's very rare and will look terrific.

Dayum, I'm really digging what you did with your colors. Very nice execution, and I'm gonna do a variation of your nitrous bottles, but in red snakeskin.
