New TVS

[1993svtjones]

Just purchased TVS & Elbow from BJ @VMP. I have a black 09 GT 500 & when I talked to BJ ( great guy & customer service ) silver was only available at the time of ordered. Think I will be painting it factory black like the stock unit & just wondering what paint would work best and last !!!!!!

Don't you have black valve covers? I think keeping it silver and adding black accents to the blower will make it stand out more unless your going for fully blacked out?
High temp black engine paint should do it unless you powdercoating.
Great choice on the TVS either way!

Silly question but why.... You know that doesn't make it any faster right?

Paint adds 10% efficiency because of stealth mode it provides.

Not sure of the paint, but powder coating it may be better before you put it on.

some people prefer the stock look. i know i do. esp when your trying to hustle:banana:

quality automotive paint will hold up well. I have not had luck with the high temp stuff, I have several engines I painted with car body paint and they look new years later.

Wouldn't powder retain more heat in the unit vs. paint?

The stock superchargers are already powdercoated so I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference in heat retension.

If you want a black one, I'll swap with you. Mine has about 2,000 miles on it.

I like 'em black too. It took almost a year for people to figure out I blower swapped my car. To them all I did was, black paint, pulley and a ricer FRPP sticker.

I just won't waste the money removing the 5.8 or painting it like everyone does. I wouldn't care if the supercharger was hot pink.

Want the silver one off my car? It has some minor imperfections where some hard core detailing stuff was used. What doofuses.
