you need to paint that BMW silver to make it really pop. Nice work!

M635 · 07-12-2008, 10:46 PM

Looks good! What paint did you use?

How did you mask off the stripes and the BMW emblem or did you just sand the paint off afterwards? My baked-on-cosomoline coated valve cover screams "please paint me" every time I pop the hood.

sha1234 · 07-13-2008, 10:46 AM

I used your standard engine enamal paint... satin black and.... !!!! FORD BLUE!!!! painted the whole thing and then sanded off the tops with 80 grit then moved to 160 to give it a brushed look... the i cleared the blue part..... but let the satin black a duller color...

overall... REALLY REALLY EASY... you just need time

M635 · 07-13-2008, 12:36 PM

Did you remove the manifold? Or did you do it on the spot haha

sha1234 · 07-13-2008, 12:44 PM

heck no... i removed the whole thing.... it would look like shit if i did it on the car...

So what were you picking up from Chris on Saturday?

Cheers

Must say the color is not my favorite, but props to the patience and craftsmanship. I'll be asking you for tips when I do mine
