jalen Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hey i was wondering if anybody tried to do a L motor in that wood grain style paint like this. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=wood+valve+cover&view=detail&id=DA784D6DC2DA3C993D5F149F401B304E60515BD2&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR I think this with some tripple webbers would look sick.

jalen Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Its interesting. but it kinda looks cool. and where would i go to paint it like that? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 There's a thread on here regarding that. I can't remember which section it's in though. I don't think it's paint, I believe it's laminate, or like carbon fiber application. Here it is: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/26628-oldjdm-in-tha-house/ Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Its call hydro graphics. If it can be submerged, it can be done...... its pretty interesting stuff, lots of patterns to chhose from. Not cheap though. Quote Link to comment

DREWSDIME Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 There is a guy that comes to Pomona swap meet here in Cali that does that hydro graphic stuff. He does some look a like carbon fiber that I think looks pretty sweet. They have a muscle car on display with alot of carbon fiber stuff done to it. I've been thinking about doing my valve cover but it costs about $100-$125 for 1 valve cover pretty exspensive but looks nice. Quote Link to comment

Shagy Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I saw them do a fuel tank on one of the chopper shows - that stuffs crazy there are even options where some of the patterns are "open" where you can lay a base color down and the pattern will let the color show through. Some patterns you can lay over one another too. ... makes for some cool effects. Quote Link to comment
