That's a nice plug cover, where'd you get that one?

Road Race Engineering sells those. They're not cheap, but they're pretty and they let the heat out.

Just coated this one myself a few days ago. Letters are in Marblehead silver, which has a cement type texture to it and is more of a flat looking silver. Then the rest of the cover is done in Wrinkle Black

Andy. What kind of UICP do you have? I have the same one but I got it from a friend and I don't know where its from.

Here's a few.

Excuse the finger prints on the plug cover. And the rust on the bolts.

If you mean me, it's from Buschur Racing. That was an old shot and everything's painted in VHT flat black now. I need to do some work on the VC and post a fresh pic.

 

[gsxAWDdsm692]

Oh aight. Thanks though.

Ignore the ugly factor. I tend to half-ass the visual stuff.

Glad to see there's another powder hobbiest on here! Here's another pic of one I did a couple months back. You mind me asking what method you use to remove the old finishes? We've been mainly using chemical stripper, but are soon going to start blasting instead.

well aircraft stripper is my method.. i spray it on let it set for 15 20 minutes then power washer blows most of it off then i repeat till its to my liking.. on that car there is just about a whole pound of gold vein ( motor mounts , oil pan thermo housing) then just about 2 lbs of that textured black, that i love so much i just order 2 more pounds if u look u will see every bracket and anything that was metal that i could pc i did i hate ol rusty dirty shat

 

[me612]

Ya, pretty cool man. Did you use some sort of low temp curing powder for the plastic spark plug cover?

 

[dsmrsturbo]

no its a injen cover that i had a friend shave off the injen part..
