Message Ok so i decided to go with a chrome valve cover set along with the CAS, water pump pulley, water pipes, hardpipes and whatever else i think might look good in it but those are it for now. Here is some pictures i just took. You may not see it but in person you can see reflections in the parts.

Also remember back when i said i purchased the powdercoating gun and tools at Harbor Freight for $59.99. Here is a quick picture of the kit that you get.

Plug the box into a power source. Plug the air compressor set at 20psi to the gun. Put your paint selection in the container then screw onto gun. Now connect the clip to the object you wish to spray. Now turn on the box, and step down on the stepping device lol and pull trigger. Its that easy. Oh! You say you messed up?? No big deal. Unclip the device and blow the powder off or wipe away then respray. Then let cure in baking device, preferably an oven not in use anymore. Larger objects such as plenums we have found out will not fit in the standard oven :-(.

Also if you find flaws in the painting after its been cured i have found the only way to remove the powdercoating with ease is with Aircraft Remover found at walmart near the truck bedling sprays. Its $3.99 a can and works wonders.

Hope this helps others get into powdercoating.

Kyle
