Default Painted my Kinetix V3

Not the whole thing just some of it. Thought I'd try it since I hadn't seen anbody else do it yet. I think it looks pretty sweet. I'll post installed pics tommorrow since my car is in the shop getting a dent/paint chip fixed that it suffered @ ZFest.

no, not even when I copy the properties box into the browser.
Just resize it to 640x480 and attach it to your post. If you need a simple resizer, check this out:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../powertoys.asp
get the image resizer, you can right click on any picture and make it one of 4 different sizes instantly.

The image is 450x338. It's probably crappy imagestation that's the problem

yours looks great for a DIY. cleans it up.

but damn that one from zpresence makes it look metal. much improved.

might keep it cooler too as less surface area... eh, Im talking insignificant stuff. but whatever.

how long will that paint stay on there with all the flexing that the plenum does?

Where can you get the paint to do the kinetix plenum like that one. What is the process to get it looking sweet. Can anybody do this?

I was on the other side of the parking lot when the guy hit your car - i remember hearing it!
Glad you're getting it fixed - oh and sweet ride by the way!

hey zul8r,
are you sure you got a v3?
my v3 has the bottom of the 3 raised portions joining around the front middle post. Also look for lateral bracing on the inside as opposed to just longitudinal bracing. Or post an inside pic.
They may have sent you the wrong one.

It sucks that he already painted that V2. Kinetix sent me a v2 as well and i thought it was a V3 because it was supposed to be a V3 and it cracked and now i'm waiting for my real (i hope) V3. I suggest anyone who got there plenum right after that long wait in between V2 and V3 to make sure they got a V3, apparently I'm not the only one that didn't.
