Hi Alex.....turbo paint came from halfrauds some years ago ....aerosol HT manifold paint.
block and plenum were painted with Hycote HT paint followed by Hycote HT engine lacquer these were from McCormick tools who are local to me, but who are also on ebay. All aerosol paint that I have bought came from them as it was cheaper than buying paint and thinners, no setup or flushing to do and chuck cans when finished

Phwoar!

Now theres a couple piccies that'll keep me company through the long cold snowy nights...

I agree with flyerncle, far too pretty to put on the road. How about as an art instalation in your garage?

Very nice work on that engine indeed sir....
It'll almost be a shame (sorry a crime) to cover it up...LOL
I guess you just keep moving the bar upwards on everything you do...
Keep up the good work.
