Default Painted fuel rails &....

Well here are the first 2 pieces. My timing cover & fuel rails. Not bad for rattlecan stuff. Didn't exactly come out the shade I was originally lookin for, but it's definetly better then dirty aluminum. I still have a few more pieces to get done. The valve covers & throttle cable bracket will be this same blue by next week. Along with my coil brackets & MAF ends in Silver.

cleaned the **** out of them & then hit em' with (2) light coats of Dupli-color Metallic Silve base coat. Then the next day I hit em' with (2) light coats of the Dupli-color anodized blue paint. (They suggest the Silver metallic base coat on the can also.)

I haven't cleared them yet, but they are supposed to be a high temp paint. They look pretty good as is, but I might clear them this weekend.

Not really. It's actually a little darker in person. I'm also gonna have a chrome catch can, polished Lingenfelter intake, & polished battery, fuse & PCM covers to keep clean. So I'll probably be wiping it down at least every other day to keep it lookin good.
