It was just some good ol' rustoleum

Lookin' good! Gotta update that sig pic.

looks great! Makes me miss my old grand prix

Thanks!! I wanna keep gettin some more red in my engine... the next step is to paint the spark plug wires red

You could just buy red wires. I wouldn't paint them.

Don't forget MSD red coils.

Don't paint them.

I would def get the supercharged powder coated red. Would looks great. I had all the parts to do a top swap on my old 97 GT but ended up selling it

yea i definitely want to to get my supercharger painted red. it would look amazing! i just feel like it would be alot of work...

It's not bad, but then again I had the supercharger powder coated while it was off the car. Never got around to installing it though and sold the top swap kit shortly after the car sold

is it difficult taking the supercharger off the engine? cuz if it's not too bad i might try it myself...

No it's not hard at all. I don't remember what all you has to remove but it's easy. Doesn't take long at all. I'm sure if you post a thread asking how to remove it someone can be of better service and guide ya through it. lol

Have you became a member over on grandprixforums.net? A bunch of super cool people and really helpful.

yea i'm a member on grandprixforums.net, clubgp, and this one. ill post a thread though and see what happens... thanks!

OOOOOOOOOOOO My favorite style and color for that generation. Are you going to polish the supercharger or paint it?

I WOULD NOT powder coat the SC. Thats just gonna hold the heat it produces inc which means less timing = less hp. And just more underhood temps.

Most on this forum that have anything to the sc have polished or used a crinkle coating that gets baked on. Its a willwren recipe. Too busy to do a search for it but I know 00Beast just had his done this way.

If i cant paint it im just gonna polish it. Will painting it overheat the supercharger too? or is it ok to paint it? Because i dont wanna ruin my supercharger...

Did you search for what I said to search for?

Its a good read with factual data put together by willwren....

I vote polish! I have heard the debate on paint or no paint and I have yet to see a huge difference in coatings. While at a stop you might run 15 degrees warmer and while driving.... most likely less difference. Add an intercooler and no worries about heat.

Just gotta worry about the roughly $1K to get the intercooler system all set up lol.
