awesome... what color/package is the supra?

 

[onefstsupra89]

The car is a 1989 Supra Targa Turbo burgendy exterior with grey interiors under the hood i mixed matched the colors with burgendy chrome and bronze. i still have some more things to get done in it but is a start.

Poweder coat the engine bay.. I have to see that! Sounds cool! Congrats on your hard work paying off.

 

[onefstsupra89]

what i ment by powdercoating the engine bay i was talking about the engine block valve covers intake manifold exhause manifold etc etc........

 

[starscream5000]

Wow, I don't think I've seen a powdercoated engine block yet...

I wonder if it would be feasable to ceramic coat the block, or would that mess things up with the block needing to expand a little for heat?

 

[onefstsupra89]

the block was thermal coated 1200 degrees paint (black) i guess i should be more specific....about the parts that were coated....lol the intake was powdercoated silver, the valve covers, water thermostat housing and some clamps were powder coated (bronze)the exhaust manifold was ceramic coated(silver). powerstearing resivour Powdercoated (grey) and some ods and ends were painted (burgendy).
