IMO that's too colorful. Blue pro 5 with yellow and red.. a lil bit too much for me.. but to each his own i guess.

He's probably confusing my red and yellow scheme with yours. Ooops.

Now I am looking at doing my valve cover but I am wavering.

i thought about it, but i just did the lettering and i think i'm happy with that. i think that might be bordering on the side of excess.

Hmmm, I think excess would be the valve cover, the heat shield, the fuse box cover, etc. You know, red city. Others have done it but I'll stick to my little bit, plus it is under the hood so not really seen alot. I thought about changing the hoses then I went and lay down and the feeling went away :D.

By the way I am picking up my new shift knob tomorrow so another change.

Still to do, paint rest of front grill, paint valve cover, add stripes, a couple more small zoom zoom stickers. That should be it for awhile and hopefully I'll have it done before Red Deer.

Hey what ever.. I never even noticed!!

The centercaps dont look good to me... but nice job on the calipers and dust shield. It adds a halo to the rotor.

sandman August-23rd-2002 12:03 AM

thats cool - to each their own..

and halo is the first thing that came to my mind after i did it too! :D

Hey Jason, did you not say you were going to paint the dust shield black so that you really could not see it? Hmm, after seeing mine you must have changed your mind right?

Looks good. I think we are the only ones in Edmonton to do that. Gee, we're almost twins :p .

Separated at birth maybe? ;)

Actually i was talking about the inside part of the rotors.. to make it look like the brake part was floating.. The dust shield I wanted to do yellow from the start, but seeing your red ones cemented the idea! :cool:

Brycer79 August-29th-2002 04:24 AM

oh man I was thinkin about doin that
 
oh man we thought abotu doin that when we painted our calipers the different color, how did ya do the shield?? did ya spraypaint? or brush?? how hard was it to do???

Thanks!

sandman August-29th-2002 09:34 AM

Brushed it on man.. I don't believe in spray paint - kills the environment! ;)

Just masked off the top edge of the rotors so they wouldn't get painted and brushed it on..

make sure you clean it REALLY REALLY good.. It is a dustshield after all.. it's meant to catch dust so it'll be pretty dirty..

No'ones gonna see it ever, but I did the other side too...

Brycer79 August-29th-2002 12:55 PM

sweeeeeet thanks for the tip did ya just hose it and wipe it or clean it with something else as well??
