Show them if you got 'em. I would like to see what you guys got.

I have a GSR block right now that im working on and i was gonna wheel blush it and see how that turns out. Otherwise i saw this hight heat paint thats cast coat aluminum @ ADVANCE AUTO.

 

come on ....... anyone else.

 

No pics, but i think it looks best cleaned really good, that "new motor look" Ive tried those aluminum "look" heat paints and they just make the motor look fake.

My thoughts.

 

not mine. but i am using the same paint.

 

That tranny looks clean

 

JDM Type R, built, block painted and head is new. The trans was matching but no pics, I sold it already. btw it's for sale

 

Looks good if done right

Here's a pic of my friend's badass 10 sec daily driven DC2 here in hawaii

SIDE SHOT OF HIS CAR AT OUR BUILD THE TRACK EVENT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

FULLY POLISHED EVERYTHING!!!

 

The whole polish thing and all is awesome but too much $$. I tried taking a wheel brush to the block but it just left clean and dirty spots.


I really didnt like the way it turned out, So I took a drive to ADVANCE AUTO PATS and bought some CAST COAT Aluminum paint that was not soo shinny and high heat primer.

It came out like this







I prepared the block by spraying the lose oil off by Brake Cleaner. Then wheel brush/drill for corrosion, and then clean it with purple power and a tire brush and brake clean again. Then i primed with light coats and painted with light coats. I didnt want too much paint build up. This stuff covers nice and fast.

 

who else has painted?

 

Just a thought... honda blocks are aluminum. Aluminum expands and "breathes" as it gets hot. If you paint over it, it cant do that.Perhaps overheat?

 

ummm its not like its a huge thick layer of paint... and do u really think that when it expands there is a noticeable difference? its very minor..

 

Good thread.

 

looks good... ill do that in the future!
