[Mr Robbo - The General]

Well, before and after shots, im gunna paint the CAI red, as well as the radiator shroud. what do u think?

 

[vk3800]

ah, don't know about all that silver and i'd leave the CAI black.
But that's me.

Looks nice mate

Any futher jobs, well that upto you mate.. i know its worth it
Should give me the hot tip on how your doing your shroud

 

[foxthor]

i dunno, silver looks better but all that overspray looks kinda dodge IMHO.

 

[big_c_43]

yeah i dunno either about all of that silver i would have done it a chrome/polished look and foxthor is right about all of the spray over, my susgestion is to try and clean that excess up.
But otherwise it looks heaps better than before.

 

[Mr Robbo - The General]

yeah i know, im not too worried about the hoses etc, they are all being replaced. there will be more red invovled, and all i intend to get a polished rocket cover.

More Shots

Few more shots for yaz, got the red on, it does look quite good in life. There is no red overspray, it does look like that in those photos a little, but its just red glow off teh radiator shroud. BTW< I BELIEVE GOON ASKED ME FOR THE HOT TIP? lol, well i took the shroud off, and applied very light coats of red gloss paint (just teh shitty $5 can) just hold the can at a distance so it gets a fine mist. do this several times to avoid runs. I did make it run a little at the front as you can see in the photo. BUT - this has now been fixed via this process.

 

[Goon]

Wicked mate :yeah:

That's giving me more ideas :drink:

ps. the cheap way works mate hey, if u do it right

 

[hodgy]

not too bad mate should look good when you replace the hoses and clean all the overspray up

 

[Mr Robbo - The General]

cheers, thanks, pretty happy with the results. The only thing i didnt really touch are the extractors. They are rusty as **** to lol. I'll get em some other day with a bit of the heat resistant paint that can take exhaust heat, up to 1300degrees i think som1 said.
