Well, my tuner got my KB in the other day and I went to take a look at it. It was nice but, KB sure does a crude casting job on the housing and it has a few scratches on it. It is brand new. All of the KB's I have seen have been like that and I came to the conclusion that I am going to paint it black. What kind of procedures have you guys used to paint your KB's? I was planning to use a wire brush or a drill with a wire brush wheel and strip all the stuff off first. Then I was going to tape everything off and paint it with engine paint. How would that be???

 

Painted mine with engine paint, no problems here.

 

Heres another pic.

 

Looks REAL sweeeet!

 

Nice paint job you done there.

I noticed you have removed the EGR valve and pipework.
What was you reason for this?

Blower Paint.

I prepared my Mag Powers using degreaser only as the casting was A1 (Nice & Clean) then applied etch primer & 1 coat two pack Ford blue all this after assembly and carefull masking of bolts hole & ports first.
Left to dry under heat lamp - now awaiting install.

Dont need no stinking EGR. EGR only introduces hot unmetered air back into the plenum.

 

Do you know I kinda thought you would say that.
Thinking of doing away with the one on my truck when I complete the engine install.
Will be in contact with my tuner.

 

I cleaned it up with laquer thinner and sprayed the new Dupli-color Metalcast two part paint to match the anodized red of my red upper plenum. I even did the valve covers.
