Hello All,

Just wanted to share with you all my HSR intake that I painted with the new Metalcast. Must say that stuff works great!



I used some grease and wax remover and some 70/30 mix of alcohol to prep the surface. Then taped off what I wanted to keep natural looking.







Then I put down a ground coat of Metalcast. It is just a silver paint with lots of metallic in it. So much that it was floating in the air around me...lol I put on 4 coats of this.....

Then after 30 min I put on 4 coats of Metalcast color paint.








I have to say that this stuff work wonderful. Looks great.

Just wanted to share my experience with the new stuff....

hidious color.

interesting color choice. Looks pretty good though.

All you did to prep was grease and wax remover and some 70/30 mix of alcohol, you didn't scuff it like with scothbrite or anything. I hope your paint bonds and doesn't start chipping off.

It was a rough casting so Scuffing it would not have helped much. Rough enough that it was shredding my towel I was using to wipe it down.

O ok I couldn't tell from the pic. Then all in all great job.

looks good. I've got some of that sitting on my shelf, I'll be using it on my block when I being prepping it.

That is really purple!!!

Yes, It is pretty bright

Hmm... he's from MN and likes the Vikings... wonder why it's purple? LoL Very nice, good job

Great work but....I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. No purple for me

you should see the my rims on my cavalier came out with it...crome with that painted over it looks really good. that paint is also good for tiniting tails

What other colors can you get that paint in?

There was a Red, Blue, Smoke, Purple, Yellow, Green, Orange, And base coat and that is sliver but not transparent.
