Just another painted intake cover

[james05gt]

waketek516 got me inspired so I painted my cover just the way he did. Took a while to finish but the end result is amazing! I like it!

Thanks fellahs!

I used Duplicolor Truck Bed Liner for the textured look, a lot of patience and dry time. Here's waketeks thread when he painted his cover page 2

How, exactly, did you prep the intake for painting the raised areas? Recessed areas are easy to paint well, but raised areas give me a hard time for some reason.

 

[james05gt]

Clean, scrub the cover and dry then spray adhesion promoter on the whole cover then black primer. I did the raised areas first so I masked the whole intake cover except for the raised areas then paint. After the raised areas are looking good and dry I masked it=pita unmasked the cover and more paint.

Here it is back on the car

Yep, looks as awesome as I thought it would! Great job brother!

WOW that looks great

 

[james05gt]

Took another peek under the hood, so I decided to paint the rad cover and fuse box lid. The rad cover is starting to fade so..paint time! I really need to get a painters mask to save my lungs.

Before radiator cover

After

Is the truck bed coating durable on plastic?

 

[james05gt]

I think its all in the prep. I used adhesion promoter and black primer on the plastic. So far the paint on the cover is holding up good, I thought it would peel by now because of heat from under the hood.

allinon72, your car looks sic!! love the rims and that color!
