Retro-gone. Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 not tryin to teach the pro painters how to suck eggs but thought you may like to see what ive done today.. blasted and painted the covers in daytona yellow, same as my car, masked off what i wanted to pick out in silver with 3mm fine lining tape. then masked off what i didnt want to paint gave em quick coat of primer then 3 flash coats of mettalic silver let dry for 15 mins and carefully peel off masking tape . ive yet to laquer and buff em up but il leave it for a coupla days to let the paint harden off. probably not to everyones taste but i like em
FredTransit Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 Now that looks good. Well done that man!

Rick Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 thats all a 'pro' would do mate. nayone can make a good job if you put the time in and do it all properly like you did there looks spot on
discodenkelly Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 that looks trick as hell! I know who to pester when i want mine doing,
mk2dk Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 Looks good. Did'nt think the 2 colors would match, but have to admit - it looks spot on
davreeve Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 Looks great a bit fiddley to do i expect but the results are worth it.
Retro-gone. Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Posted August 9, 2008 problem is i cant decide what colour to do the block and head, yellow block with black head? silver block with black head? blue block and blue head? any suggestions other than pink, purle or tartan?
glenbo Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 yellow block and black head the cam cover looks the mutz nutz
FredTransit Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 You don't want too much more yellow, it will look at a glance like leaving the bonnet off whilst re spraying! Silver block with black head for me!
Trevmk3 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 yellow block and black head liking your paint aswell
Yeomans22 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 looks great, as for the engine u can't go wrong with black. with minimal silver/yellow in there
