customized 3.4L covers and intakes?

[mustangracer91]

I've done a search and seen a couple posted here on the board, but it was a while back, so I'm kinda calling out to see if maybe some body has done something since those older threads. I've got a spare intake I'm looking to paint or coat, and my cover looks bad, so I'm just fishing for ideas. Also, is there a coater service that the board members generally use? I'd like to support the community and all.

Here's mine. I just wanted a factory look. Blends in perfect with the rest f the engine bay. I love it...

Mr95Gl has the best looking vanity cover and intake IMO. But I am a little biased

I used Jet Hot silver ceramic coating for the metal parts, looks good, is durable and rejects heat.

anyone else have some pics they can post up?

Wow the guy who did those must be a genius!

 

[mustangracer91]

some definately nice looking setups there. I see black is a common theme for the engine covers, are there any others out there?

There's a red one that just sold on here.
Here's a few others that are not mine,

wow, i was gonna post a couple pics of mine, but yours looks so much better.........i suck

There are some really nice looking engines out there, I am repainting my cover now 'cuz mine looks like crap now.
I know that powdercoating is probably the way to go, but can you get by with painting the intake with high temp engine paint?

Of the runners that are posted here, are there any that are painted or have they all been powder coated?

 

[mustangracer91]

I'm sure some of those runners are painted, as I'm sure you know any painting, cleaning and prep will help the paint stick and look great as well. Powdercoating is nice because of the chip resistance, and with the ceramic coating, you get the benefits of thermal shielding as well. Personally I'm a little undecided...I'd like to ceramic coat, but because of the cost of the ceramic coating process, and that I'm going to be having the manifolds done after I "clean" them up inside, I'm considering painting.

Hey Rubix, who owns the Supercharged black SHO with the blue intake/covers? Are they a board member?
