Det_Riot Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 you IDK how the front accessories end up looking but you should hit the timing cover too with some roll on paint so you don't gotta paint it. I mean everything is off of it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean everything is off of it already.Hit it with the degreaser so it looks much better, as actually debating over pulling it and talked myself out of itPS tank bracket was absolutely disgusting, soaked it, scrubbed it, soaked it again then hit it with the wire brush before it was ready for paint. Looks all purty now tough. Was planning to cut it up since I don't need the coil pack mount anymore but now thinking it will be a perfect place for an oil catch can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Looks great, the painted coolant tank does wonders for the look. I hate that yellowish white plastic that car manufacturers use for those parts. They always inevitably turn ugly after a few years. I painted my PS pump for that very reason.

joekd Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Actually the top of coolant tank (where I painted) was a dull black, very plastic looking so it annoyed me, just couldn't justify paying for a billet tank then painting hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Ah yes you're right, I forgot they are black there. Still way better looking than black plastic regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
