FiBTLforlife Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 so I dont really paint things much and when i decided to paint my motor on the prelude i was a little nervous. i got the paint at autozone and put about 8 coats of red/black and about 8-10 coats of clear coat on the motor. It came out ok i thought.I got some overspray on the manifold but i plan on getting new headers anyway. im a camera hore when i comes to taking pics of a project so the multiple pics with motor all red is shots after diff coats of red. total cost for paint $9 let me know what yall think? anything i can do next time to make things easier better. or things you see i did wrong. always good to hear others opinion and the before and after pics of motor Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autruche Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 It looks pretty sweet when you sand the paint off of the raised letters.
