Engine compartment transformed in 12 days - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was going to get the brackets, aircleaner and valvecovers powder coated and decided to try eastwoods under hood black and was pleased. I used the Dupli-Color Engine enamel spray and was pleased with the results. Sandblasting the parts before you rattle can them is key.

very nice work indeed. I know looking at the engine bay of my truck yesterday it looked like a daunting cleanup task, and it didn't have the engine in it!

did you remove the fender wells to paint them, or just careful masking?

You brought the engine to raw metal? Unreal...your a craftsman.

You did an AWESOME job Yezzi! The engine compartment looks amazing. And in just 12 days, wow! Did you remove the inner fenders and the intake? I know you said you sandblasted them but did you put them in a cabinet or use a spot blaster? By the way, your rattle can work is superb.lol

Thanks again!

I didn't remove the fenders or the fender wells I just used a lot of tape. I used a sandblast cabinet with black slag media on all the brackets, pulleys, exhaust manifolds, etc. I replaced a lot of the nuts and bolts with grade 8 and blasted them to bare steel and satin cleared them to match. It gave that OE raw look. I also used the eastwood satin clear on the firewall to inhance everything.

Jonboy · 03-09-2011, 03:27 PM

I. love. that. truck.

Seriously Yezzi, that looks great. I really do like your truck. A lot. Gives me something to shoot for.

looks like it. I believe he said he started by painting that and it went from there. Mine is on the other fender (87 r10)
