Painted my new coil covers today....

So after getting my "Powered By Ford" coil covers and looking at them in my engine bay they seemed a little bland. Decided to paint the lettering to add some contrast and help them pop. Turned out great, couldnt be happier.

You will need:
- painters tape
- your color choice of paint
- razor blade
- about 30-40 minutes per side and patience

Start off by covering the lettering with blue painters tape. Then, with your razor blade, carefully cut out the letters. Next, use the brush and your touch up painted to fill in each letter. Remove the tape and enjoy your new coil covers. If you have any paint that managed to get outside the lettering, and it will happen, just take your razor blade and carefully scrape it off. It comes off pretty easy. I image you could also use a rag with paint thinner and wipe off the excess.

Now for the pics (taken with my iphone :dw: )...

this is the best "before" picture i could find...

You should try to make it up to Jason's (TRBOVNM)house and see what has been going on with my termi. Oh well I'll let the cat out of the bag. The cracked intercooler pushed me over the edge. So now the new setup will be POSI ported blower, 2.8upper and a 2lb lower. Hmm can't wait for that 500hp. And now you got me thinking of something to add to my things I want to do. Since yours looks so good. Man I am jealous. When are you gonna put a pulley on that thing man. You do not know what you are missing out on.

Great job Nate

Nice man, i am planning on sending my blower to Posi this December for a race port. He does awesome work, i'll be anxious to see your numbers. I am ordering the power package from Amazon Tuning here next month probably. It consists of a 2.76 upper, new belt, SCT and a tune.

Thanks Bernie!

Very Nice Nate

Turned out great!!

thanks guys

Looks good Nate!

I found out my posi eaton is number 048 that he has done so far. Now I just need to get a egr delete and I can start putting it back together.

why the egr delete?

Looks good, Nate! Dunno why I read the title and thought it said that you painted your coilovers....lol.

haha, i read stuff wrong like that all the time

lol I read coilovers too. Looks good! I need a supercharger :/

Looks great

Those look awesome.

appreciate it

I am doing the EGR delete because I wanted to clean up the drivers side of the blower. All of that crap on that side is for the egr system. And I am not to concerned due to the fact that it will be going up to Horsepower by Herman to get dyno tuned. The egr delete plate I have to mock up due the fact that I made it from memory. Gotta love being in the military and having free time and plenty of scrap metal. My Egr is going to be 6061 and I will polish it when finished.

Looks great Nate! Did you have to stay up late? Did it add any weight? I bet making sure the tape was straight could make you irate...but who am I to debate b/c I can relate. I bet you were ready to masturbate but since it was cold enough to ice skate, it made your junk deflate...

dude you have way too much free time

Just glad to be back to work...

haha, i know sarcasm when i see it

Lookin' good, Nate

Same here! At first, I was like, "Damn, he went and changed the springs again???"
