Absolute paint fail on my part today *Pic* - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Nutro · 06-19-2013, 05:08 PM

I went to the Auto paint supply store today to have them throw the last 2oz of paint i had left into a spray can for me (They normally put 4oz) and didn't think it would work.

I cam home, prepped the intake cover, applied the adhesion promoter and started spraying. Ehhh it was WAY too thin. I got pissy and wiped most of it off. Then I saw the intake cover missing half of the green paint so I thought Hmmmm a partial "De-constructed" look.

Then I shook my head and walked away.

I will take it to an actual body shop tomorrow for proper painting.

I like the look, patina is popular today.

Take that intake cover and add a couple of those valve slapped pistons and create a "deconstructed" sculpture as a remembrance of this whole ordeal. Someday you can look at it and laugh about this whole week. Glad things are going to go your way!

That's a good idea, save the intake cover as a memorial to your dear departed engine. Hang it on the wall as a conversation starter.
Start over with a new intake cover.

I was watching your other thread and good to see they are taking care of you.

If this is one of those piece they wrecked, I hope they're paying for it.

The conversation piece is always a fun project, and adds a special mancave touch. Do what I did with all your blown motor parts..

I see a pool noodle, COD for Xbox, guns, tannernite, and a motor table. I like this guys style, heaven knows what that pool noodle is used for!

Stupid question I'm sure, but what does a table like that weigh?

That is the coolest side table I have ever seen! Car parts, game controller, semi autos, and a Chevy Camaro key fab. All you missed was a fat cigar and a bottle of Crown. Well done.
