Underhood Painting Project 2


Recommended Posts

Posted

After I got tired of having an orange plenum, orange strut bars, and orange dogbone mounts, I decided it was time for a new paint scheme. The plenum is now it's original black and the strut bars and dogbone mounts now shine in "chome (sic) aluminum". Check it out:
