Message: [QUOTE="Krause, post: 1174442, member: 331"] So the first thing to tackle was the oil pan. Mine was in great shape, very minimal surface rust, so I am keeping it in place. For the oil pan, I am using an epoxy paint made by Mastercoat. I wanted to try something other than POR15 a while back, and came across this stuff after Billy had mentioned it. Anyways Im really happy with it, the primer is epoxy based and will seal all by itself. But when you mix up the paint (satin black in this case), holy smokes look out, the smell of this stuff is FIERCE. I always get reminded of Anchorman, "its made from bits of real panther, so you know it's good", pretty much analogous to this, "its made from bits of real Satin, so you know it works." Primer is a tame aluminum metallic colour, pretty decent looking all by itself (in fact Im leaving the front cover just done in this primer).

Took the shop about 3 days to air out after this, Im not joking. [ATTACH=full]149113[/ATTACH] Once it had set up for a few days and was hard enough that I was confident tape would pull any off, I got it taped up for spraying.

I was originally planning an all aluminum theme, but since most of my piping is getting wrapped with black exhaust wrap, I decided to the monochrome theme with aluminum accents. This is VHT Cast Iron Grey. [ATTACH=full]149121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]149122[/ATTACH] I still need to paint the exhaust manifolds with higher temp paint, but I wanted to put a couple pieces on to get a sneak peak of how its roughly going to look. Still some stuff that needs to go on, I think it'll still come together a bit more.
