Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
Yeah, that's what I mean by the "chrome" look. It's gorgeous, but for me I'd go for the slightly less reflective look in Clint's pic., above.

Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
Like picking a favorite child, but I too put =Jeff's= on the top shelf, along with Dominic's red/silver scheme.
But, the one I like best (today anyway) is Bob G's "silver metal flake under glass" powder coated 427 LT5. (sorry...no photo available) Also, Mark has a guy that paints motors, and they turn out beautiful - look kinda like this (my "rattle can" test): I'm leaning toward Bob G's "silver metal flake under glass" look. That is stunning, especially in the sunlight! It strikes me that painting the LT5 is like putting fitted clothes on a beautiful woman - beautiful, no matter if she's wearing jeans and a T-shirt or a cocktail dress...or nothing at all. Hard to go wrong when starting with such an elegant subject to begin with, doanchathink? This is Randy Ransom's LT5, another stunner...

Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
Has anyone done this themselves? If so how did you go about it? I am tempted to buy a soda blaster and Dupli-color has some two part systems they market for wheels.

Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
I really like this one. Absolutely pops and is brilliant yet tasteful and easily maintained. I have seen a polished one first hand - and while it is visually stunning - the amount of maintenance to keep it that way is too much for me. I have bad hands and rubbing/polishing just kills me....

Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
I did VHT wrinkle and it came off about a year later in big sheets, and now falling off the plenum. Getting red wrinkle PC in a few weeks

Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
SOme beautiful motors in here !! I like mine all silver. Was debating on pulling the cam covers and redoing them and the plenum a different shade but not yet I think. I have some other tricks ill be doing soon to the engine compartment to help highlight the LT5

Re: What's your color choice for LT5s?
The Cam covers are basically a crinkle red
