Figured I would post a few pics of my top end pieces after they came back from the powder coater. I am currently rebuilding My GTA after it was sideswiped almost 2 years ago. Finally have a place to fix it so decided I would start with the engine and work my way back, The engine has a mile or 2 on it but still runs strong but needed valve seals so I figured as long as it was apart I would give it a lil color. I will post a few more pics as it goes back togather

Heres a couple more.. The valve covers are podwer coated and the headers and sprayed with a silicon spray and they baked on. I know that ceramic is nicer but I workin on a budget.

Looks really good man. Love the black runners/plenum. How 'bout the plenum extention? Are you still using it? You should paint that as well to match the rest of the plenum.

One question I have though, since you took off the intake did you take advantage and port out the base and plenum? Now would be the perfect opportunity to clean those things up on the inside as well. Hit two birds with one stone....

What else do you have planned?

looks superbeb. you do the prep work your self before shipping it off for powdercoat?

Good luck with the rest of the rebuild

Looks good. One thing that will put it over the top. Polish the FINS on top of the plenum now. and have the powdercoater Put a Glossy Clear on it.

Like I did for this coustomer.

It will definatley break up the black, and give it a more detailed look.

thanks for the kind words everyone. I do have the extention but its packed away somewhere and still lookin for it after the move. I didnt do any portin to at all as the whole things comming back apart next year for the rebuild. Althought I did have cruzin clean my injectors, they looked like they gone thru a war...LOL. Skoda I dont have much more planned for the engine right now as it seems to run ok. ( new 383 planned for next year ) but am replacin most all the chassis parts and a lil body work as the poor GTA was side swiped a while ago. Ill post a few more pic when the engine bay is complete and some chassis pics.

looks great!

gonna look better when its all together.
