I am planning on powder coating my cover as soon as it gets back from being welded. I want a color that will be memorable but not gay. Here is a pic of the engine bay now: http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/7/web/703000-703999/703734_38_full.jpg

Better not Take any shade of green that represents emerald, candy, or pearl. For that is my signature color for an SR I do not yet have. You know what would help, is stop resorting to this forum for all of us to intervene with individuality. That shit is bananas around here, go pick yah own damn color, If we don't like it, oh well, someone you like will. .. .

try and pick a paint scheme for the whole car and kinda stick to it. Usually works out nice.

Mine was a shitty orrange so i scraped it all off and had it and the manifold powder coated metalic silver and made a coil cover seem as mine was MIA when i got the car.

i was gonna polish it but i have a crack in the cover that is in the shop to be welded. so i dont want to see " cast silver" over "shiny soider". i havn't got a color scheme yet the only colors that stand out are blue from my harness, yellow from my momo steering wheel and seats and white from my shift knob and red from my wires. and i didnt wan't to "resorting to this forum for all of us to intervene with individuality", i just wanted to know what ppl like or something that i would not of thought of. i was thinking of ninja turtle green or somthing like that i donno. i just wanna see input on your thoughts.

Here's mine in candy purple powder coat. In real life it looks really dark more like the 1st picture.

Go black and tell the ricers it's an SR. HAHA! Seriously though, I'm getting mine done in black.

magenta is looking nice for this season. I say color match it to the car as mentioned above and as shown in an example. I dare you to finger paint it

mine will be camo over textured black, as soon as my friend lets me borrow a spare valve cover. so if you steal my scheme, I will be upset.

POlished black, and then sand off the Nissan badge to make it that shiny scruffy metal look.
Badass, and unique.

or you can go with red, and call it a redtop S13. =)

wootwoot
05-26-2005, 07:36 PM
I'm starting to agree with the red, it would be funny to try and make it LOOK like an sr. Turbo KA with a red valve cover, ricers would see it and think its an sr
