Did some polishing today.

[69clark]

As many of you probably know at the end of the season I burned up my supercharger and it is time to rebuild it. I ordered a rebuild kit to rebuild it but I didn't show up in time for the weekend. So with nothing else I could do, I decided to put it on the polishing wheel while it was apart. I thought it came out pretty good and I know some of you like the bling so here it is.

lol

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

On a curious note, are your accessory brackets powdercoated or painted? I was thinking about getting mine powdercoated in the spring, and doing a ton of underhood cleaning.

 

[69clark]

Satin black paint.

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

How's the paint holding up? I was more concerned with the prep and paint, versus just having them powdercoated, but painting would definitely be cheaper.

 

[69clark]

Well as you can see from the pic it has held up well. I haven't touched them up any and it was done 2 years ago. Lol, its not a daily driver, but I do use it and I guess if your prep is good it should last. I used dupli-color satin black.

What is really impressive about your ca...your skill, that you just keep finding ways to make it better and not just a pile of nice parts.

Oh, on the bracket thing. I had mine powdercoated silver metalic like my intake and like the way it turned out. Super easy to clean up and very durable. I found a local guy who was starting up his own coating business and IIRC it cost me like $30. I sanded the casting marks smooth and the coater bead blasted them to clean them up before coating.

[95opal]

Lookin good there Tom.

 

[95riosnake]

looks awesome man! I have to say I like the looks alot better without the decal, looks more custom, and brings together the clean look you have goin on.

 

[trav_19]

looks great man your cars a true show piece

 

[Killercanary]

Looks great Tom.

Have you ever thought about scotch brighting it though so that its finish would match that of the intake and valve covers? I think it looks great now polished, but it was just a thought.

 

[BlownFiveLiter]

I think it would look awesome either way, like what Paul said, or polished. The polished look goes well with the pulleys and polished TB. I wish those were decisions I had to make on my own car!
