[brittken]

Hey guys i have been dressing my engine compartment up some. Check out the pics of my engine compartment and see the difference a a change in color on the intercooler will make. Tell me what you guys think. See the pics at my webpage at www.cardomain.com/id/brittken87

Looks very trick. What did you paint it with? Is the rest of the aluminum just cleaned up and polished a bit or is it painted too? (turbo shield,etc)

 

[brittken]

Its painted.

I took the turbo shield, intercooler, alternator and metal trim above the radiator off and primed and painted it all with high heat engine paint in aluminum color. It was a time consuming job but it dressed up the engine compartment nicely for very little money. When the time comes I go to all chrome but this will do for now.

Wow, that paint makes it jump right out at you, good job!

I like it.

Did you just paint the sides and necks and leave the fins alone?

 

[brittken]

painted the fins also.

Yeah I painted the fins too. The intercooler needs to be cleaned really good in order to make the paint look nice. Another good thing is that I can always paint it black again to go back to stock. Also it helps to paint the shroud again black.
