Yup, post #9290



Thanks. You were the Pioneer with the Shaker trim. I just copied you.

Royce was cool. Just like the rest of the Gracie family, down to Earth, easy to approach and talk to.

That looks a lot like mine:

Now that I've decided to get them painted I can't decide between the few options I narrowed it down to. Which do you think would look best?
1)Silver Metallic
2)Tungsten Silver
3)Gloss black
4)Chrome

I was also thinking about adding a sticker like the one in the pic. Yay or Nay?

Chrome (matches rest of the engine bay. (Black would disappear I think, unless that is what you want them to do)
Sticker =

habu

I vote for whatever color that is in the pic. The sticker... meh. Could take it or leave it. More leaving it though

LEO_06GT

So far
1 chrome
1 gold (Thanks for voting Brian but I'm not of fan of gold.)

TacoBill

I vote for Chrome (if powdercoating). If painting, Satin Silver.

I'll vote for the chrome. I don't even like chrome that much and I think the chrome looks great. I would also vote yes on the sticker, but that's just me.

Leo, I think these would look good except have the logo and lettering in Tungsten or silver.
Tom,nice gun! hope you don't get accused of anything.
Daryl, nice #'s

Stepped right into that one didn't he Bill

With that sticker Chrome or Silver... Silver is preferred as I am not a big fan of chrome... But I'll reserve judgement until I see Bills.

Is that straight up gold ? I didn't think it was. It looked like a flavor of silver of some type. Then again gold used to be a Ford color before they painted everything blue.

For me, I'm not much of a chrome guy unless it's a chromed-out Hot Rod. I do like the crinkle finish black though, but it would be hard to see in your engine bay. I'm picky I guess.

Ray Man

Those are sweet, where did you see them?

LEO_06GT

I like those too but don't feel like forking over the $$$ for "hireman" to airbrush them.

habu

well if he's just painting them, then it's not hard to do what He is doing but with solid colors instead of fancy air-brush work, right ? Don't do a sticker use paint, engine paint that is.

TacoBill

As you know, Black Krinkle was my first choice, but I left the final call up to Chris. He said it would look nice, but it be too much black going on and by having Chrome, it would look like I actually did something rather having it 'blend in'.

Hey, Chris picked TR, may as well pick the camcovers too!

habu

true. But the black crinkle will match the whipple when I get one

LEO_06GT

Daryl, Bill your Shaker trim is on it's way.

TacoBill

Yes it will!

But, are you really sold on the FRPP/Whipple? One guy has one and only dyno'd in at 350ish RWHP. Granted it was with Whipple's conservative tune, but I'm creeping up on that number with my NA motor.



Thank you Sir!
