damn! I told ya the older ones would look great!

jeverett · #3 10-31-2005, 09:09 AM

Yeah, I kinda liked it

I looked at my dads on his 04 and it looked like it would be alot harder to paint.

Now that actually looks good. Too bad the valve covers aren't as easy to paint.

Looking good sir, Wish I could find time to do mine sometime. That's the same style as mine...I wonder how white would look with mine unless I could find some good Chrome paint that would set it off hmmm.

Looks pretty damn sweet!!! I never thought of doning the K&N Intake Tube. I'll have to think about that one. All we need now is one more person to do it and it'll be an official trend. I really like the color.

That paint was from Wal-Mart. I can't remember the brand, but it actually had metal flakes in it. It was like $10 a can. My girl actually picked out the color, I had a can of Testors model paint b/c I couldn't find anything close to what I wanted. She came through for me again

I think if I ever get around to swapping my cam, I'll probably paint my valve covers

That looks very nice. I've come close to picking up the paint twice now but I've got;
A) Too many irons in the fire ATM
B) Had the wife and kids with me when I was at the store so I didn't have a ton of time to look at paints and the like.

But it is coming to a post near you soon.

Consider the trend in full effect. I've already got mine painted. Used chrome paint from wallmart. 4 coats but no clear. I'll get pics up in a few weeks after I figure out what I'm doing wrong that won't allow me to mount my nerf bars. I don't want to take pics until I'm all done doing what I want to do to it so I can just show all my mods at once.
