Engine Eye Candy?

[Teejay4490]

Has anyone painted engine parts? I searched and couldnt find much of anything..at least for a 3rd gen

FedyFeds painted the plastic cover on his engine, but I haven't seen anyone do anything with the actual parts.

 

[Teejay4490]

sigh..the little 4.0 has no plastic cover lol

 

[Triton8273]

I'm sure if you found a 4.6 in a junk yard it wouldnt be too hard to make the cover fit somehow.

I know I would give it a shot lol

not the same gen, but Maniak did paint his engines in some wild colors
Explorer Motor,

4x4 Tow Van V8,

 

[Teejay4490]

Im prolly going to go the junkyard route..But if the 4.0 ever grenades im gonna paint the 5.0 in the some badass colors. And that van looks wicked!

Not a fan of the cover, I like to see the components.

There isn't really anything to look at on our motors lol.

 

[GRNMACHINE]

Turdle has powder coated ALOT of engine parts!

 

[Teejay4490]

Still counts will. I'd like to powder coat suspension components one day

 

[fedyfedz]

lol i forgot that i painted that, Im actually re-doing that and some other stuff under the hood soon. I took my cover off recently becasue i like to see my nice port and polished larger throttle body

 

[Maxstealth04]

I love seeing the throttle body! LOL! I like to see all the components and how the work, its like looking at a chick in her underwear, looks good, but would rather see what is underneath! LMAO!

 

[Teejay4490]

Lol Ive never heard anyone put it that way, that's clever
