Jaime, I had mine powdercoated bright red at North County Powdercoat as well, down here in San Marcos. IIRC, it was $85 for the red, and it came out really nice.
Personally, on a stock engine, and fairly stock car like yours Jaime, I would just have it powder coated black, with grey painted intakes. Oh, and if you don't feel like powdercoating the tin, VHT engine block paint holds up REALLY well, and doesn't melt when gas hits it, unlike duplicolor stuff. |
