Painted VE SV6 Engine Bay

[Troy711]

I picked up my covers yesterday after having them sprayed the same colour as the car (Sandstorm). I'll post some pics when I get them on later today.

Pics as promised...

Looking at the pics makes me want to paint the manifold black.

Fantastic job Troy - but agree with the manifold being black - or the other alternative would be polishing it.

edit: disregard that link - it's a "how to" article on polishing the alloytec manifold from street commodores. If interested, check in the miscellaneous section of the tech bit of their website.

Like those alloytec cover looks sweet with that gloss finish

Troy711 - They look nice! Did you get them sprayed in Canberra? If so would you mind letting me know where and the cost if it's not too much trouble?

I'm considering doing it to, but don't have the time (read patience) to do it myself.

Specialised Smash Repairs in Belco did it for me for 50 bucks although they did it at the same time the fixed my car so I probably got it done pretty cheap.
