LT5 Paint

I know Frank, but what he is asking for is basically a miracle.

That one is mine!

If you want to do it yourself with paint the DRM stuff works well I used it on my daily driver and it still looks good not real durable theres some scratches on it now that im not happy about so one day ill have it powdercoated as well

the above one is for my other ZR-1

If you can get up with Jeff have him powder coat it it looks great and will last longer than the paint.

but dont forget you need to get all new gaskets and the dowry washers for the cam covers along with the cam cover sealant if you do go that route

good luck

If they still make exact matching paint and items for the old vettes to be perfectly restored, why cant anyone get the exact paint match for the LT5 engine that is only 10-15 years old

The main reason is that most of us don't care to use an inferior product.

The Big thing is that while you have the motor that torn apart why not just do it once with powder coating and have it look nice forever instead of using cheap paint that will not last.

powdercoating does the trick

There were so many variations in the original color of these engines. I have seen them from a sort of gun metal gray to a nice silver....all on stock engines ,some with very few miles on them.

I think the color changes over time/mileage & how cool it runs.
