Jamie (Jrust), just refinished his using the Rustoleum High Heat Primer; http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=381 Looks very good. I just did mine in a Dove Grey powder coat from NIC out in Oregon. I wet sanded the finish to give it a flatter look. Nice results as well. Maybe just a tad too much of a blueish tint but that could be due to the lighting. Much closer than most of the rattle cans I tried. Wurth Zinc rich primer is another choice, but I had no luck with it adhearing. I just tested out a can of Krylon grey primer. It's also a good choice; leaning towards more of a darker blueish grey than the rest. There is enough variance in these original paint runners (that change color due to engine heat, chemicals etc.) that a flat-low gloss grey is close enough. Another Powdercoat option would be RAL 7000 silver-grey. You can either have a gloss killer added to the PC which can make a variety of unknow results or scuff it like I did. I can't get a decent picture of mine till I'm able to move it outside. But, below are some original intake runners. You can see the variance in the shades of grey.

thanks guy. i picked up a D-Jet in pieces. i think its all there, seams simple to put it back togther. so the color of the man's is a blueish grey? i was looking at just going with a engine ceramic. my choices are ford grey and Pontiac blue.... haha
has anybody used a good engine color? and the control box goes behind the battery tray correct? and the injectors can be mixed and matched right? no specific order. im assuming... thank you all! so close to running!!!!!!!!! just time and money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
