did you find it to be a major pain in the ass to sand and just deal with the area under the shock tower and above the frame rail that's behind that bracket? haha i know that it's a major headache to clean from my experience.

Mykizism · 07-11-2006, 09:49 AM

it wasnt that bad, i just used a lot of carburator cleaner and sprayed until all the dirt and grime washed away basically

kidkombo · 07-12-2006, 02:17 PM

pearl white is such a nice color..good work man.

Mykizism · 09-14-2006, 08:18 PM

Here are some quick update pics.. the motor is ready to go in.. Im waiting for my parts to come back in from Jet-Hot so i can put them on the motor before i drop them into the car. Im waiting for my Turbo/Downpipe/DumpTube/Intake Manifold to come back from jet hot. Im getting them Sterling coated for bling / thermal coating

heres some quick pics bc im tired of seeing all the crappy threads here in the prelude forum..

Mykizism · 09-14-2006, 08:19 PM

Also during some downtime.. I removed the old Red paint from my valve cover.. and now changed it to matching pearl white to my car..

Mykizism · 09-14-2006, 08:25 PM

head was slightly ported intake and polished exhaust side only (i did it), along with supertech valve train.. and a 3-angle valve seat cut by port flow

from what I see. your autobody skills are greeat.. I've been working in autobody for over 7 years now. Started in highschool and I can say you paint better then some of the painters here at my work. But yet again they have to paint 6-9 cars a day. but still. mad props

btw, how much did you spend for those gravity feed paint guns? I dunno if you know this but some of the holes on the radiator support that you shaved were to clip in the wire that goes to the hood latch but i'm sure a lil doublesided tape will make it work just fine

again nice work

boosted_lude · 09-15-2006, 07:09 AM

i'm in the process of pulling my motor out as well. might be asking you a few question about the wire tuck.

Revi · 09-15-2006, 09:59 AM

Wow. That looks amazing man, love the way the engine looks. What kinda paint did you put on the block/head? I have my engine out right now but i dont have the time to do anything like you have done, but i would like to clean some old stuff. Did you just use high temp black spray paint on the alt/ps and ac mounts?

thansks man..

the guns werent too expensive.. a little less than Sata guns.. but not as much as them.. yeah im aware of the holes i shaved on the radiator support.. i didnt like how honda used those clips to hold the hood latch cable and how it was routed.. i rerouted it.. and im using some custom clips to hold it under there

Ludasaurus · 09-15-2006, 10:58 AM

Looks absolutely amazing bro...can't wait to see the final product.

the black paint im using for the motor mounts, powersteering/ alt / mounts are actually black primer.... i like it how when it dries.. its flat matte black.. so it isnt glossy and shiney in person.. and leaves it with a very subtle look that wont take attention away from the valve cover and turbo..

ive tested this before and the primer leaves a very strong layer of paint, that is resistant to heat, wont fade, and wont stain from dirt and water

engine block and head and tranny is painted with 1200* aluminum paint..

mgags7 · 09-15-2006, 11:01 AM

how does that paint hold up to oil and grime and such?? (the alum paint)

97lude · 09-15-2006, 11:07 AM

gorgeous

hella_usdm · 09-15-2006, 11:24 AM

is it aluminum spray paint, like in a rattle can? What brand is it, I'm gonna do the same thing when I pull my motor.

Revi · 09-15-2006, 11:32 AM

The black primer and 1200* paint can be purchased in a spray can? Would a place like home depot or walmart carry em? I wouldnt mind doing this to my mounts since i got em off right now. Also would this 1200 paint work on my header? I got a DC header that is real dirty.
