I really wanted to chrome my coils brackets, but the lowest price I got was 90.00 and it would take 2 weeks for them to be done. I picked up duply colors chrome paint. at first i thought it would look tacky and cheap, but that paint made miracles. it turn out great.
write up=
2 coats of adheasive promotor,2 coats of hitemp primer,2 coats of your choice of color,3 coats of clear.
SOM ls6 Manifold
write up=wet sand 400 grid,600,800,1000,1500.
3 coats of adhesive promotor,3, coats of primer,3 coats choice of color,4 coats of clear.
As far as the SOM paint goes I couldnt get the original paint from Gm on time. I was 3 days away from the show.I went to Pepboys and found similar color made by duply color. they call it copper metallic.It's about 90% close to SOM.I was very happy with it.
hi temp primer
SOM/copper Paint
clearI dont know why, but the clear made the SOM paint fall off.it didnt react well.So i just resprayed the manifold with 3 more coats of SOM

damn, everything looks awesome. great job. i have always wondered what those little door sills would look like. they look really good. can u pm a link from where u got them from?
Looks great. Who did the etching on your battery cover? And do the door sill plates rub or anything? Is the letters just stickers? Could you please PM me with the seller as well...I would love to get a set of my WS6 too (like the guy above I was wondering what the looked like!)
i like the "write ups"
