Pequena progress

Needs. More. GREEN

I vote Green the the compressor and Alt .. and purple the rails

Do it. I have no regrets. I’m in it for like $250, including the powder which was $80

I would do just the fuel rails in the same green and the compressor the same gray as the alternator. Maybe consider doing the brackets in the green too (alt and AC). Leave the pulleys black.

It's more of a space issue than money right now. My garage is at max capacity. We're looking to move in a year or two, and the next house will have a basement, plus hopefully a larger garage, so I can expand into larger equipment like an oven, blast cabinet, etc.

With the radiator pipe and charge pipes teal, it’s enough IMO. I’ll post a pic later and I think you’ll agree

@Noobz347 Here’s what it looks like “done”. I really don’t want to make anything else teal.

 

[General karthief]

That works

 

[RaggedGT]

I really like how it’s turned out... But I still think it needs more green in the drivers side

You mean like another turbo???

As long as the housing where green.... ....That could do it ..

I think you should powdercoat the belt teal.

Yeah, that's a decent amount. Too much more would start looking funny.

What steering are you putting in?

Right now, I just have the power rack in there, but I am going manual.

I don't know why but to me your intake pipe (to TB) just looks undersized (read small). What diameter is it?

As far as color scheme it looks great to me just as it is in your mocked up photo

It does look small, but it's 2.5"
