Ruts Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 OK so on the whole we are anti-rice, but I have a penchant for all things blue. This is acutely obvious if you look at my custom guage thread but I have taken it a step or two further. Take one shitty oil stained rocker cover : Soak in degreaser (50/50 mix of Supercheap degreaser/Kerosine) Rub with Wet'n'Dry to remove scuffs and hammer marks (it was hard to crack the seal) Spend $35 at Supercheap on pretty tins of shiny stuff Spray the blue on the cover Look in disgust cause it doesnt look right Read the cans Use the basecoat like you should have in the first place Respray the blue Seek assistance of Bajic brother to refit the cover (I told you it was hard to get out) Stand back and admire the blue Next: The strut braces Nick has provided to me.

ancullen Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hell yes, that's damn nice blue. Pity those FWD engine bays are so crowded though. Nothing like the space available in RWD Corollas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicine_Man Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sometimes the seal hardens and sticks to the head, Trick is to get the hammer (AKA SST1) and give it a few love taps to persuade it to come off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hey med what you think of my pretty lil engine bay :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruts Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Could you please tell me what paint code that is from Supercheap? Thanks man. That "Metalcast"® paint only comes in 1 shade of blue, and 1 of red and i think the other is purple. And the ground coat is the grey/alloy colour to give your colour an even base to work over. the paint is semi translucent so it will show up any grime under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 That 4A-GE looks sweet as. You've obviously put a LOT of work into cleaning it up and prettying it up Teddy. If you ever want to have a go at doing a 4A-GZE feel free to fly up here and do mine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Except for the red sections I thought Teddy's was also quite restrained. But yes, Ruts you've done an excellent job - looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
