sorry for all the new threads on painting etc and yes i know im the spam king but i still need a little help too now and again:(

 

 

just want some advice on painting the plenum and making it look nice and glossy although im not very fussy.

 

Was thinking of giving it a rough sand then painting with a cherry red hammerite paint but will it have a nice shine to it? could i use a laquor to finish it off?

 

Thanks.

 

 

p.s Its a diy so powder coating os out the question.

I was only mucking with ya jimmy, You shouldn't have any problems with the balance bar holes :).

 

Looks very nice indeed. Throttle Bodies look very clean. Takes me back to the days when I actually had time to spend on my car, I'll be lucky if I get time to wash it once a week now :(.

looks awesome matey

As often as that, you lucky!:tongue:

I only washed mine erm..... havent yet i dont think..... taken it to the polish guys a couple times and thats it. Not till all my body work is sorted.

Looking good, used blue hammerite on my MKIII supra, surpised no-one else had done it before on here

they have now :D did yours chip? seems really fooking strong that stuff.

looking good mr jimmy.. i used hammerite on the impreza brake calipers at the end of last summer and that still looking as good as new... i baked em in the oven between each coat but doubt itll make a difference

dont you dare change your mind and add something else to it. mines been backed up long enough boo hoo

Ive seen that setup on the us forum, i think its easy to the eye but you would get bored after a week and wish you had something a little more interesting.

If it was a gloss black, it would look a million times better

The chap couldve at least used a red or black cable tie for the sensor cables!

But i thought that made all the difference, gota have a bit of blue in there somewhere.

Going to get my plenum done in black chrome, should look sweet!
