Lollypop blue
 
okay well i just got back from a company that powdercoats to choose the color of my engine. I dropped off my timing chain housing, Quad 4 IDI cover, and cam shaft covers. I wanted it to match my oil pan but the closes they had was LollyPop Blue. I saw the color and I was like dam thats HOT, my girl also said thats a nice blue. So my engine is going to be lollypop blue:p
They said it'll take bout a week since they have other projects so I'll post pics when i get them back

heres some pics to get a general idea of what it'll look like, except the HO manifold will be chrome

Sexy.

DOHC_tuner 02-18-2008 10:03 PM

its gonna cost about $120, cause first they have to sand blast the parts then powder coat it a silver color then the lollypopblue.

billytheman1188 02-18-2008 10:19 PM

I CAN PAINT YOUR ENGINE BAY BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it will only cost you like 30 bucks ;-) hahaha, just kidding.

AGT 02-19-2008 09:29 AM

Good choice on the Lollypop Blue. Much better than Engine Knock Red

I got to wondering ... why didn't you go with "Smurf" blue? :lol:

greenbastard 02-19-2008 12:59 PM

that looks very nice. how much did the powder coat cost?

AftermathAlero 02-19-2008 01:39 PM

powdercoat is cheap nowadays. Only costed me when i got my 2 valves and upper intake manifold done was 150 bucks. (due to the color was gold anodize). But normal regular colors would been like 80-100 bucks.

Looking good dohc!

DOHC_tuner 02-19-2008 04:49 PM

hey pimptress they had lollypop pink!

but that pic isnt my engine bay just for a little FYI, thats just a pic I posted to show how it will look once its done. they want to charge me 60 to powdercoat plus 10 each piece to sandblast so about 120 or so.

YALEROYNOT 02-19-2008 05:43 PM

DOHC_tuner 02-19-2008 05:51 PM

YALEROYNOT 02-19-2008 06:10 PM

DOHC_tuner 02-19-2008 06:21 PM

That wheel color scheme reminds me of the wheels I have on my beretta.


DOHC_tuner 02-25-2008 04:48 PM

well ladies and gentlemen I just got back from picking up my engine parts that have been poweder coated and DAM ITS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!

I also got the master head gasket set.

sorry pics dont look to good cause they are still in the plastic, i dont want to remove them from the plastic until im ready to install them. Also the lighting doesnt help but trust me they look great. I'll get better pics once Im ready to install them.

If you're going with bronze, go with an all bronze rim, no chrome lip. It'll look better on a white car.

DOHC_tuner 02-25-2008 05:09 PM

^no thankyou spilner,, i got to have that chrome lip.

Heres the badges and sticks that will added to my HO

Then stick with black with a chrome lip.

DOHC_tuner 02-25-2008 06:24 PM

yeah still not sure, its either bronze or black with a chrome lip. Im just having trouble finding good bronze rims with a chrome lip for a good price.

[ion] C2 02-25-2008 06:30 PM

i hate bronze rims

i also don't like the color choice you picked, and hate the way the engine bay in the original post looks... if it were all polished chrome would look amazing. lollipop blue... gross. especially knowing you aren't going to polish the ribs and lettering

DOHC_tuner 02-25-2008 06:32 PM

ahhhhhh....I dont care........I love it. Looks a lot better than your engine bay.

[ion] C2 02-25-2008 06:35 PM

way to try and cut me down for not liking your color choice

effer

I dont know about that, i think a supercharger looks better in an engine bay than some blue powdercoat. You should have got rims first and then color matched the bay to the wheels.

DOHC_tuner 02-25-2008 07:36 PM

hey ion keep the attitude on the track when we race when I get the turbo installed.

[ion] C2 02-25-2008 08:21 PM

haha, that's the spirit :)

alerored04 02-25-2008 08:22 PM

Bronze wheels and IDI cover would have been sweet.

TheEdgeofSanity 02-25-2008 08:34 PM

every man's open to his own opinion.

ok kids, go duke it out in the sandbox.

clutch1 02-25-2008 09:48 PM

That color is effin hot man, looks great.

YALEROYNOT 02-25-2008 10:15 PM

that blue is sexy i like
makes me want to lick it :p

Oldsman 02-25-2008 10:18 PM

nice blue but i think it will too much blue and look like a blue blob. but that is just me

DOHC_tuner 02-25-2008 10:36 PM

CharleyO99Alero 02-26-2008 04:03 AM

Parts look good and should look very nice with your white Alero. :)
