Saran wrap painted compressor cover? thoughts?

[Funfettie]

Hay there,
So I just picked up a PT 5857 turbo, and I started to polish the compressor cover to find its way too much work! So i had an idea. There's a custom painting method that uses saran wrap to add texture. Thought on how this would look on a compressor cover?

You could have it powdercoated with the wrinkle effect....It looks pretty sweet..

Do it man! it's something different=) Somebody is always going to hate so f### them(don't mean you bud92gsx). Post pics when your done. Good luck

Any idea about how much a compressor cover would cost to powder coat? I understand it will vary from place to place, but a ballpark number would be nice! but yea, i think it would look different, and bold.

It shouldn't be more than $40-50.

The thing about powdercoating is if you get it done at a bigger place it might cost more..Also getting multiple things done at once in the same color/effect actually brings cost down..


Are you on Widsm.org..Lilevo does home powdercoating..It should be pretty cheap since he doesn't have to have a huge amount of overhead, and huge oven to up the price..

Im not on widsm, but ill see if i can contact him. I might go with the paint idea though!

 

[Bud92gsx]

He also just registered on tuners here...But I can bet he checks widsm, more than tuners..

That Saran painting method made me think of this... it's kinda pretty off topic but bad-ass:

At first I thought, This is the most random painting I have ever seen..Then halfway through I was like whoa..Then At the end, I was totally shocked...Very interesting..

Wow. Very cool.

 

[Funfettie]

shit, that was very interesting. Ill try that next time I paint my car!

@ the Vid..It's really cool, but damn if you wouldn't be sticky afterwards.

Don't think it's the same guy, but back in 99-00, I watched a guy in downtown Vegas/Fremont St. do a bunch of paintings like that. Both guys def. have skill.
