Home Made Bling

Ok, so got bored due to it pissing down with rain so decided to spray my cam covers, and chain guide.

How it looked at the start



Lightly sanded each component and wiped down with turps



Paint used (Bunnings $14)



Drying time



Finished product



Actually managed a ride yesterday up at a mates farm and gave it hell through the bush all day and after washing all the mud off it not a single chip very happy

Hope you like my $14 can of engine dress up kit lol

oh well, i might still do my cam cover but the ther ones are chromed
but i did do my chain slide a few weeks ago

Looks good! show us pictures in a month to see how it holds up

 

[sean01]

you could add to that if you liked..

lightly sand back all the fin's to alloy. it will liven it up..

but yeah looks nice already

yeah im a spray painter by trade im thinking of doing my motor in a 3 layer Perl but the last thing a wanna do when i get home from work is start spraying again if any 1 wants something sprayed tho pm me

enamel is good for heavy duty use but it doesn't give a good finish and out of a can is not a good idea for bigger jobs but little things like this it goes good

 

[james_troke]

oh and remember to scratch the surface well and clean it b4 spraying or the paint will peel and chip after time

 

[paton]

thanks for the comments guys, yeh i agree sean reading over it i should of put a bit more in haha what can i say i'm a bit lazy.

3 layer pear would look sick james. can you get that stuff in hi temp resistance?
