Nope, no paint. Probably just a clear powder coating to seal it up once I'm done.

UPDATE!!!!!

I made a short video instead of pics. The finish on it now is with Purple Scotch Brite. Polish is right around the corner! Can't wait for that PITA.....the video is a bit grainy/choppy cause I did it with my cell phone. Somehow during the upload it slows down scratch

Another update. It's almost done. Still have most of the backside of it to do, and need to touch up all the lil corners, but here she is....

Abaddon's Riv - Page 6 101227_160012

Notice the "haze" on the right of the lower photo. I still need to buff that side out. Other than that, she's almost done! I have to get my MPS (not purchased yet) mounted on the nose before I polish it. Don't want to f-it-up after the polish. When it's all said and done....ON TO THE INTAKE!!!

This is getting exciting Scott. Just curious, are you using a phone camera?, because the pics are not doing your work justice. shocked

You DO realize what this means, don't you... There is now a moral imperative to find chromed rocker covers, chromed exhaust headers, chromed alternator and chromed injector plumbing! clap

(Hmmm... Does anyone chrome heads and blocks??)

Yeah. Took them with my phone at work. I have the USB cable for it there, so I can upload pics at my terminal. The final pics will be with the the 10mP...promise Abaddon's Riv - Page 6 Icon_win

Haha. Yes I know. I keep looking under the hood at all the rough cast Aluminum crap that can be polished. Rocker covers are a definite to go with the S/C and thermo housing. I think the polished Alu with some anodized parts is gonna look sweet. Mind you, I'm only doing this to kill time..... Abaddon's Riv - Page 6 388242

Well, I'm done with the outside of the main housing. Here's another cell pic for ya. As promised, I will use the "good" camera when it's totally done and assembled. I didn't worry about getting the "mounting" surface perfect, as you won't see it when it's on the car anyway.

LOL yes the nose is getting done too. Karma, if you sent me a shell to polish, I'd do it. But, I'd be sending you this one to work your machine magic on the bottom side.....

I've been wondering that ever since I started. But, once you dig in with the 36 Grit, you're committed. neutral
