Liquid yellow engine cover + strutbrace

[hkka]

Finally get it done in ID paint - liquid yellow. I just put them on without screw cos I still have something to work on with the oil breather.

looks good...but not sure about on a black car.

 

[Gareth]

no, would make sense on a liquid yellow car, but not on black.

 

[Rich]

Love the colour on the 182, but that covers not my cup of tea. The area left unpainted where it says 2.0 16V also looks a bit odd.

 

[hkka]

Yes, I agree yellow is not the best color. But since black is like carbon one and red is too normal for Vtec or Alfa engine, I go for yellow. Anyway, those are free. Will get another cover from scrapyard and try one more.

Looks good, but don't like the red tops to struts, Could do with more yellow in other area's to pull it together

 

[hkka]

When I got my 172, the struct brace is alraedy in yellow + red. I just re-paint the yellow to liquid yellow.

hum..... I am thinking of remove it after you guys comemnts :-}

 

[Middo]

i actually really like it as its different

i wouldnt remove it because of what people on here say

 

[Ali]

Hummm....red strut tops look out of place...It's a nice idea tho...Hats off to you.

 

[theduck]

i like it, just get the manifold polished and strut tops painted aswell!

 

[hkka]

Just kidding. I may remove it when summer is arrive.

Also a serious question - how to clean the inlet manifold??? I tried those engine cleaner but not work at all. I did remove it and clean. It is very hard to clean and actually I think it has no difference after cleaned. Are they painted in silver on the surface or dirt are hard to remove in this case??

 

[Middo]

no idea how to clean it, might be better to polish it. would look very nice

 

[ben_p]

^^ use a wire brush bit for a power drill, will remove it in no time!

 

[Middo]

^ or a dremel?

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Mmm nice, might have to do that myself.

 

[Guy]

thats how im going to do mine but in arctic blue and having the 16v in yellow still like standard.

 

[pecan]

haha, nice, paint the air box now.

 

[hkka]

Mine cost FREE for painting cos my friend paint his Toyota AE100 Wagon in liquid yellow. He got a side skirt and have the paint shop paint mine plus his side skirt as well at the same time. We know the guy from the paint shop well, he charge my friend but free of charge to me. But I did the masking myself, so that you can see some area are in silver.

 

[Kolin_Mc_Reay]

Looks Awesome fella!!!!

and there ain't nothing wrong with yella and black, work well together i think!

I'd paint the red bits personally, but if you like it, leave it!!! its yours after all!!!
