That looks bad ass, I like how you also painted the tensioner, Power steering bracket ETC. It looks really good.Did you just use a rattle can and some sand paper?

Z28Venom Feb 25, 2006 01:52 AM

That's an extremely clean setup! Keep em comin'

that looks cool., but i say re do them in the same color as the other parts

IMO, the red clashes terribly with the orange. Paint them black. :nod:

Still, that's a badass motor you've got going for yourself. :thumb:

Looks good!

TAEnvy Feb 25, 2006 10:52 AM

Id like it, but Id have to say it may just look better done in orange like the rest of the parts. Then again it could be to much orange once you do it like that. Overall I give you a thumbs up.

67RSCamaroVette Feb 25, 2006 11:19 AM

I'm gonna use some coil covers, or else i'd do the orange, too.

No. Harbor Freight style HVLP gun and a $55 quart of HOK paint. Enough to paint 50 engines. :) Thx for positive compliments, I'll post more once I get some coil covers on.

They both look great.....

EvilBLK02TA Feb 25, 2006 09:26 PM

Agreed- they both look good!

How long will that orange last on that tensioner though? Very sweet looking indeed.

67RSCamaroVette Feb 25, 2006 09:38 PM

why wouldnt it last? Are you talking about the washer, or the tensioner itself?

It may, but anytime you have ANY kind of friction rubbing paint, it's bound to wear down. Just curious as to if many people paint them, it looks like 11secss has his anodized, that seems like it would last longer.

67RSCamaroVette Feb 25, 2006 09:42 PM

Er. you mean the waterpump pulley, then. I was wondering the same thing, we'll see.
if it rubs off, i'll remove it, clear the crap out of it, and try again.
