Powder

Re: Powder
So my wrinkle black one has a crack where these things always crack, and was starting to leak oil in it. So I took it off and it's being stripped. But I had a spare Hyundai one laying around that I'm putting on.
Now I've been trying to figure out how to make a color to match the black cherry color of my car. They don't make a color that matches it. So I took a transparent red, and applied it over a gloss black base coat. Typically you put transparents over a white/silver/chrome base coat, and that gives it the "candy" look. On all the forms I'm on, no one had posted pics of a transparent over a gloss black base. So here are my results. This valve cover was in horrible condition. So bad I was wondering if it'd even turn out since there was so much crud just caked on it, even after 2 hours of prep. But I'll let you be the judge, I think it turned out amazing.
When looking at it in just plain lighting, and straight on, it looks just like gloss black(apparent in pic1), but once I turn on the flash, or apply direct light, you see the maroon come out. I'd say I matched the car color very well!

Re: Powder
Did my new intake and upper intercooler pipe this weekend in smoke chrome, followed by a coat of clear coat.
