I ran out of primer and the maroon color is gone. I think I'll stop here. Well except for the LIM that has to be painted too. Good thing i have the silver duplicolor engine enamel left.

I'm currently layed off(job attached) collecting unenjoyment. Before somebody says it's the economy, it's not. It's construction this time of year. Each week i dream up something to do to occupy my time. I finished porting my heads. I painted my blower, valve covers, coolant bottle, coils, fuse box cover, heads, eventually the LIM(when it arrives) and i prepped and powdercoated brackets and stb. I fear all i have left is laundry and clean the house.

I've had a lot of questions about what paint i've been using so i took a pic of all the **** i used.

From left to right
Duplicolor engine enamel silver
Bulldog adhesion promotoer(for plastic crap)
BASF custom blended maroon(don't let the duplicolor on the can fool you, that's just the can they use)
Auto prep use it to clean off grease and dust
High build primer
BASF silvermist metallic only used it on the coolant bottle.

i painted my diagonal braces under my hood and after about a month if you get close enough it looks like the paint is cracking, i used the high heat dupli color, 1200 degree or 500 degree cant remember...should i just repaint them and let them sit over night? the cracks arent peeling off, its weird...
