Painted Turbo

[wmoguy]

I've seen some Cummins trucks that looked pretty slick w/ painted compressor housings. I'm contemplating doing this with my new ATS turbo soon to go on the truck. Mr. Colorblind wants someone to help me pick a color to get in the high temp paint.

Anyone have pics of an IDI w/ painted compressor housing they want to share? I was leaning towards a Fire Engine Red.

My compressor housing is painted a metallic blue paint that was at the parts store. Looks great!

I've been painting the compressor housings on all the turbos I've messed with high temp aluminum. Looks better than the bare housing and doesn't oxidize, so I figure what the hell. Not big on painting other colors because I know it'll get dirty and look like crap.
