I used ANODIZIT by plasti-kote. 1st the Primer 2nd the BASE COAT 3rd the TOP COAT...and u gonna hate for this but the HONDA vtec thats on top of the cap has to be done by patient hand...good luck

oh yeah they also have it in anodized blue..the red and blue colors look almost exactly like the AEM intake colors. Same look its an awesome paint
find it at PEPBOYS or AUTOZONE..

I think painted meshes better with the engine bay than CF does....for a vic anyway

I used paper and tape to paint my honda vtec. But painting by hand is probably better

if it worked for u better that way that thats good. I just didnt have find a way to do it the way u did it. I just took my cars touch up paint and I painted it freehand getting high of the fumes damm.

they all look really nice, that looks hot with the silver and blue, what do you guys do, spray primer, and then spray base coat, then put tape over the honda vtec lettering and spray it all the main color and then take the tape off and hand paint it with the lettering color or do you do it differently cause i really wanna color mine i've been wanting to for the longest time just havn't gotten around to it

i just sprayed the ****er silver, no primer or nothing. two coats of silver high temp paint, drying period inbetween each. it rubs off on your fingers, but doesnt rub off the plastic, its weird. oh well, it works.

Yeah, i just sprayed Blue high heat engine paint on it, hasn't come off yet, and it has been like that for about 2 years

 
Rep Power: 513

how much does the high temp paint cost (like at pep boys or whatever)? and is there one that matches EBP?

Since everyone is showing off their engine bay then I might as well.
I used Dupli-Color from Kragens 500 degree temp
Blu cuz I goto go with the cookie monster theme

Yeah the high heat paint is about 3-5 dollars, you can use this stuff for your brake calliber also and save yourself the 30 bucks for a calliber kit

I'll just post this since there isn't a pic of the CF one in this thread.

 
Rep Power: 340

well i did my honda vtec by hand its kindda hard u gotta be real steddy. if u can find a way to mask tape around it i recomend you to do that

 
Rep Power: 340

make sure u clean the cover really good.. i mean really really good.. I used the scoth brite spunge (the green side) to clean mine.. it will leave hair line scratches all over the plastic make sure u get it cleaned though every groove, corners whatever just get it cleaned. Reason why is because if there is any contamination that u cant see like oil, dirt etc. the paint will not stick to those areas. The green side of the scotch bright serves as a good sandpaper. Again it will leave hair line scratches but when u spray the primer they will go away. good luck bro

now that I look at the pic again, it looks like it has some kind of system from MSD..... Or am I seeing things???

It's the naturally aspirated KMS 7thgen Civic.

Here's the thread about it. And here's the website: Kauffman Motor Sports (KMS) Engine Development.

really.. i think it is an MSD but what baffles me is the intake; where is it? what is it?
