kadoi Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 that looks pretty tough...plenum black...good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Id have to see the plenum in black in order to decide, but for now, i dont think i like it. but with the plenum black, it may look good. i hope you used flat paints and not gloss, cuz i dotn think gloss would look good at all.

kiwi133 Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I photoshopped the plenum black in my sig. The paints are gloss, but it looks ok because the surface is so rough. Though the black that I used, on my coolant tank and washer bottle (same stuff) doesn't actually look very glossy after its had time to fully harden.

topless94style Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 i think it would look better if you could see both heads but otherwise nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 when you do paint it, paint your throttle body(part of the plenum) black as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power-Glide Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 I hope you used a good etching primer on the aluminum before using some engine enamel.... I know I didn't once upon a time- make a long story short all the paint peeled, chipped, and flaked off and I re-did it the right way. Aluminum is shit for painting withought a good base.

kiwi133 Posted September 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Nice patgizz! I contimplated doing all black everything. Glad I didn't because then it would be too similar to yours. I painted over the grey paint... It was in great condition so I figured what the hell, cleaned it up really good and sprayed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolt_Crank Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Next is to paint the plenum black. Let me know what you think. Looks pretty good, reminds me of the Toyota 4AG (1.6L 4 cyl) your head looks almost exactly like that... write Toyota on it and it'll look even more like it the black plenum is a nice touch... not quite what I'd pick, I don't think, but still pretty nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi133 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 If I had an SHO lookin engine with tubular runners, I would be all over the chorme. But I think our george formen style runners/pleunum looks better in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
