Re: The never ending K5 Build LS Swap

Okay. Got a nice a little update. The Blazer comes home from body shop tomorrow and I also received my engine back. In the meantime, I've been spending much of my time perfecting my cerakote skills. If you're not familiar with Cerakote it's pretty cool stuff. It's a type of ceramic coating that is very popular with gun enthusiasts. It lays down very flat and thin (like 1mm) and they offer two kinds of curing.

I've been using their air cure (C-series coating), mainly because I don't have an oven to bake this stuff and it also has a higher temperature rating compared to the H series.

These are the colors I've been using (Black Velvet, Burnt Bronze, Stop Light Red)

Every part under the hood has been painted one of these colors and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
