Pink High Temp Paint?

Still curious about what it'd look like. And it can't be TOO hideous, unless it's got some ridiculous, fugly-ass bodykit or vinyls.

Im not into the whole body kit thing but the pink car Im talking about has a kit that looks like the green eclipse from The Fast and the Furious. Its the stupidest car I have ever seen.
 
Haha yeah, I found the Silver 2G in the gallery one day, very nice. I agree, SILVER is better LOL.

And as far as finding paint, NAPA here in town tried to make it for me, it separates..

I did find it on that one website, but I would rather pay less than I have to.

But when I'm done, I will post pictures.. i'm looking more for a shiny, not dull pink. And I'll be doing it with BLACK lettering, not silver.
 
^^^^ Not true. I used plastic flower paint for the color, but all the other preps and coats were extremely high temp. I can show you a bottle I used, and you tell me if it can be used for high temp applications. I tested it myself, through extreme heat, cold, and wheather treated. It still looks the same as it did when i first painted it. that was a long time ago, almost a year I believe.
 
Just Remembered Seeing A Pink 2g At A Huge Mega Meet In Virginia, Some Chick Was Driving It Of Course. Wasnt To Bad But Way To Much Pink.
 
Dude, good for you, do you want a cookie for being in Iraq? I have been twice, so what? And first you type in ALL CAPS, Now You Type With Every Single Word Like This? I am staying on topic, you came out of nowhere with this? Where are you finding the time to play around on the internet?
 
u asked why i was in all caps and i told you so how about u keep your comments to yourself and stop jumpin' down my case.
 
I wanted to revive this post, instead of starting a new one. I also need to paint a valve cover pink. I'd be able to powder coat it on my own, but I don't have an oven yet.

I was thinking, a Hot Pink color, with High Temp Clear Coat over it. I had my manifold painted with black engine paint, and since it wasn't high enough temp, it burnt up pretty bad. So I don't want that happening with this valve cover.

And if anyone is wondering, its not for my car! My ex just picked up a MINT Condtion 1994 Eclipse and She saw my valve cover and wanted me to something for her.
 
I just used regular hot pink spray paint on mine.I took my time with preping it.I used a wire wheel and solvent to got all of the oil off.It works just fine.No clearcoat either.I decided to paint it black instead of pink a few days ago and it took me forever to get the paint off.But anyways regular paint for the valve cover works just fine but I wouldnt use it on something that gets really hot,Just the VC does not get hot enough to screw up the paint.
 
I have hot pink cam gears and oil pan. Its just something i like to do with my motors is paint my oil pan pink just to say I have a pink oil pan. I did it on my integra and my talon..

I've seen a pink valve cover before, I believe there's a picture of it somewhere on this site... One of the vendors was running the pink VC (I think) can't remember who though.

Its the Mirage to Evo III Swap that has a pink valve cover, doesn't look to bad, I'm getting one of my valve covers powder coated Purple :hellyeah:
 
95gst16g, Vatozone or where? I'm gonna prep my spare valve cover for it. Do it and sand the letters down and I was gonna clear coat it for that extra bling.

I know I've used regular Paint on my calipers. It was the only paint I could find that actually matched the stock red paint. And the paint looks the exact same as it did when I did it, except dirty. I was thinkin of doing her Calipers and Valve Cover and some other things for her. But the valve cover was holding me back cause I don't have the oven for Powder coating yet.
 
All the paint is,is the krylon fluorescent pink.I also used the krylon clearcoat.It made it shiny.The lettering I found a generic black touch up paint pen/brush deal and used the brush to do the letters.Hope it works out for ya.

Go to Desert Industries...(DI) If they have one where you live..
Buy a normal oven and dedicate it to powder coating.
I've seen it done and it's pretty good.
