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.

wow if i can get me plenum coated for under 50 quid im all in :D but its got to happen quick as scott needs my plenum asap ive already stalled him up a week.

 

well canvey island is only a stones throw from scotts place?

that was taken today just after a coat, a few hours late it looks the same, once its hardend it will look better. But seems to take ages to harden, ive got a couple heaters near it see if it helps.

you did block up the inlets before you sprayed it right ;) ?

your only asking coz you can see the answer to that question :p

gaffa taped them but not the balance bar bits :S would it matter? Im gunna sand down them bits 2mow anyway.

here we go let us have it then!!!!!!!!!!! ah it doesnt matter anyway ya nob head haha :tongue::tongue:

looks good bud, if i were you i would put a few coats on it then wet and dry it to get that ultra clean finish

intakes are fine.... youve worried me about the balance holes now :(

 

James i was thinking bout wetand drying then another coat but its bloody blingy and glossy already.. i dont think it needs it.

 

That actually looks suprisingly good for a tin of the hammered stuff. Good work dude :D

heres another with the cleaned up throttle bodies.

i think it looks really good but seems too easy, something is going to go wrong...

seems too easy!!!!!,, i fooking spent 5 days doing it,, cleaning wire brushing sanding cleaning sanding cleaning primed waited 2 hours primed again cleaned preped and sprayed 5 coats with 20 min in between, wasnt just a quick spray on.

still... you know what i mean, all that work for what is basically a simply idea usually ends in somtihng going wrong
