Wow. looks nice. Did you sandblast or media blast that before paint?

Air cleaner lid was blasted with glass beads, but the other pieces had paint that was too thick for the beads we were using. I ended up using a chemical stripper (strip-x) for the bottom and snorkel. That stuff is a mess!. Anyway, it ended up that the air cleaner had been painted with 2 or 3 layers of paint, and some of it was the original paint. However, there was some rust that was hard to get off.

I just used dupli-color (old ford blue) from the rattle can. You have to lay this stuff down thick and wet, otherwise you will get what looks like a dry coat (lack of luster, looks like overspray).

Yeah, with a check for 50 bucks. Seriously, this is a days work if you want to do it right.

Im gonna sand my valve covers and strip them. I want to paint them right. I want a sandblast gun badly, i like doing stuff like that. I thought of asking you to blast some stuff for me. ( of course for a few dollars)

I would, but I dont have the time or effort to finish my sandblasting cabinet. The cabinet I used is the one at school, and I have very very limited access to the engineering lab, since I am not an engineering student.

The sandblasting gun I have was 12 bucks. However! Media is about $50-$100, cabinet materials would be about 100, and a compressor good enough for blasting is pretty expensive.

sand blast cabinet? Ill do it like the red necks and shoot it into the woods. then i would have to keep buying glass beads.
