Just painted my plenum cover to match the G.O. I don't think it turned out to bad for the stock cover. What do you think?

 

Sweeeeet!!

 

I think it looks great!

Please post a picture of it after you mount it back on the engine.

Can you describe the painting process you decided to use?
It must have been tough to mask off the lines and pony..
Looks like a great job though. I too request pictures!

 

Thanks

 

OK, here are some pics of it back on. Originally my thought was to primer the whole thing and then spray it all black. Then mask off the lines and the lettering and spray over the whole thing again in G.Orange but the masking of the letters was going to be a little to small in some places for me to be able to mask it off well enough ( at least for me ) so I ended up priming the whole thing and then spraying it all G. Orange. Then when it dried I painted all the black by hand with a small brush. When it was dry I then put on some clear coat. The Mustang emblem is a separate piece applied with double side tape so I just pulled it off and reapplied when I was finished with the paint. It might be easier to mask it off but there were a couple of places on mine where the factory tape was lifting so I wanted to redo it anyways. If yours is still stuck on good I would probably just mask it off unless you want to paint it to.

 

Awesome job there Robbie.....

 

Very nice! Great job and it always feels better when you do it yourself.

 

Very well, done. I am impressed

 

Now you need some fuel rail covers painted the same way.It does look really nice

 

Heh that's the first thing I thought too, fuel rail covers! Looks great

 

Very nicely done Robbie

 

Gee, I wish I knew a little something about Grabber Orange. I could make an intelligent statement about that doggone plenum cover... I think it, uh, looks nice. I, uh, can't say for sure??!!

























Robbie, that cover is fn hawt!

 

looks great! BTW, what do you have covering the top of your struts???

 

O man, a JLT CAI in G O would look so good with that.

 

Great job. Looks awesome.

Did you use any special paint and clear coat (heat resistant)?

 

+1 same as above... what kind of paint and what is on the top of your strut towers? I am wondering how the paint will hold up under the engine heat.

 

Nice Job. That looks great!!

 

if the emblem is that easy to come off i wonder if i can swap it for the flame pony that Blue Oval sells or a custom one from Hireman

 

Just some plastic caps I found at the hardware store, I drilled a hole in the center and painted them to match.
