what do you guys think of this and has anybody done this if so post some pics

engine componants such as ... caps, plastic parts , etc

 

search there are tons of threads about this

 

Personally, unless you are showing your truck, it's just a way to pass the time. If it were a part that were visible all the time like rims, or your bumper, that's different. Hence why my engine and all of it's components have a nice coating of mud, while the outside of my truck looks nice and clean.

I should let it be known that in my younger days I used to always clean out the engine bay and paint random things. Now I'm happy leaving that alone and taking my OCD elsewhere.

 

heres some, started and kinda gave up. ill get back to it eventually.

 

thats sick imo ^

 

I like the way that you colored the writing on the pieces.

 

Now that's serious OCD. Wish I had the patience for that.

 

Look's great

 

dude, the longest part was actually painting the silver. i just used a paint marker to go over the letters then cleared it all. itll be painted again soon.

 

Did you have to use High-Heat paint? Or did you use standard spray paint plus a standard clear spray? Looking to do some of this stuff and don't want to see my paint burn off because it gets too hot under the hood. Advice?

 

i didnt use high temp. the stuff i painted shouldnt get to hot.. i used krylon fusion on the base color and painters choice paint markers for the details. the throttle body cover is actually off of my truck again as well as a few other little things to be re done.

 

i have painted the caps and some cover but not the main i want the black and blue look not the black and BLUE

 

That's a good lookin ranger. the wheels powdercoated?

 

I've considered painting the valve covers blue like the Ford GT or the newest GT500R.
