idahoBLKss Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 dude i love the color of the block!! what color / paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanesss Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Its single stage victory red. i lightly spray the block with etching primer the spray on the color with no hardner so it can expand and contract with the heat. it works great..although you probably wont see much if any when its in the truck. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
