Anyone have a polished plenum in Brisbane they'd like to sell?

I've got the bling bug... after stripping the shit off my engine and being left with dirty looking components I HAVE TO SMARTEN IT UP!!!

i was all power, who cares what it looks like... but now i've got my hands in there.... (oh no this is going to be expensive )

So, if anyone has a polished plenum PM me!!!

I've just taken the rocker covers off my car at 12.30am (yes i think i have a problem) :zlove:

 

Just get an exchange TTZED one

about $400 I think + Post.
Or see any decent metal polisher, mine cost about $280 12 months ago, although the polisher has moved now.

 

Don't do it Richard

It's addictive, been known to become obsessive: spending on food/grog/girls diverted into shiny little engine-bay trinkets ... missing out on cruiZe's for fear of getting it all dirty or being upstaged by Baron, (See the MikeZ thread a few days ago?) Be warned!

 

Ah, welcome to the fold brother.But I agree with Rob, don't do it. But if you do Queensland plate in Salisbury are your chromers, remember to take everything (EVERYTHING) in one job lot, it's got to do with the way they charge. ( If you take one P/S res. it may cost $75, if you take five it may cost $120, get it) and after trying to polish that shroud the other day I swore I'd throw away the polishing gear. Hatefull job

 

You know you want to....





Convinced yet?

MikeZ

 

That's cruel.

 

How much would these guys charge for a plenum ??

 

you know you cant compete with that

 

r33k .. the way your engine bay looked the other day..

.. yukky pooh, pooh .. i reckon that you will never maintain a polished set-up over time ...the mikez and baron bays are the creme de la creme as is that of "el rey de bling" , uncle wizard .. these guys PUT TIME into their bay maintenance .. unfortunately, mate, yobbos like you and me just do not have that commitment and application ..... !!!!! ..

SO TO THE SOLUTION: .. go for powder coating .. does not cost heaps, much easier to maintain ... and looks good ... just do it ..!!!

 

Just went to the powder coaters , what would a shiny gold plenum look like . While i have my engine out I'm going bling mad .

 

The perfect time

 

Seriously though, the powdercoaters said if they have an already polished surface they can coat it like polished gold as shiny as chrome, would that look shit ?? anyone seen pictures.

 

ask them how it copes with heat, a lot of the shiny stuff goes funny in the heat, obviosly not if its polished but yeah

 

They said heat should be ok, but could could not gaurantee, only cost 70 bucks, cant go wrong

 

id do it, no many with gold plenums but i have seen a few, looked pretty good

 

brings shivers to me to see that again

 

Yessss i remember...

It was chewy who polished mikeZ's plenum!!!

(wanna do mine?)

 

Hippocrite!

muwahahahahaaaaa

since when have you listen to me?

Do it Reek, do it!

 

POWDER COATING!!!

After a quick chat with the Kaptain (KZED)

I am going to powder coat my plenum SILVER

this morning at 12.30 am took off the rocker covers.

12pm degreased them, 2pm, bead blasted them... now they are all prepped and ready to be powder coated REDtommorow!!!

I'll take off all the crap from my plenum this weekend, and get it powdercoated SILVER next week...

Then its play 'i wonder where this water hose, vac hose or wire goes???

(Thats Mark's job )
