Custom Painted Valve Cover and Intake

[Stangshcky12]

I started with and air raid cold air intake and a "custom" made torque tube that I had already color matched

Since mineral grey is so dark it didn't really stand out at all...

Thanks a lot guys! I painted it all myself, my first time trying at true fire and I'm super excited with the way it turned out!

The best part is I used all rattle can paint (duplicolor perfect match, ps2 silver, pxr brilliant black, pa9 charcoal gray metallic and ppg pure pink pearl that I had mixed) and cut some cereal box into my stencils lol

Have to thank JJ for suggestin the clear coat, it really brought the flames out and gave them depth

Braydon, I could do it for you but not for awhile. I start back at school on Monday so once I settle in we can talk about it. I have no idea what a fair price would be.

Now I just have to detail the rest of the motor and get rid of the 163k miles worth of dirt, grease an grim

I should thank Braydon and Scott both for really giving me the idea to paint that stuff and there write ups on how to do it too!

Next step is to paint the intake horn to match.

Here's some more pictures for you guys (I tried to take progress pictures but forgot haha)
Started with this

The whole thing started with a charcoal grey metallic base
Then the base flames are ppg pure pink pearl for the contrasting color

I then added ps2 silver and pxr brilliant black

Then went finished with some charcoal grey metallic flames

The stencils that I made, They don't have to be perfect for true fire
I used the one to the left mostly, I made the ones on the right when I was about half way done because my original had so much wet paint on it. The one to the top right really finished it all off though


There was a little bit of light when I left

Amzing work man...I can't wait till you can get to mine! (no rush)

Hmmm hadn't really looked around at what else I could do!

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Great job!!! Finish up the rest of the engine bay

Thanks man it means a lot!

Amzing work man...I can't wait till you can get to mine! (no rush)

I'm pretty exited about it too! I've been thinking about what colors and stuff
It would probably look BA if we took the flames over the ram logo too
