Default Paint the Cummins Red

In the next few weeks I was planing on painting the valve cover, intake horn, and pipes coming from the intercooler red. Any thing else I should paint while Im in there? And any of yall got any tips on paint to use or pointers? Thanks guys!

Well you are in the right state for paint to dry.

You can paint the water neck,alternator backet,APPS sensor backet,gear cover this would need to be removed,air intake plate.

Cummins has a red valve cover ready to put on.

Looks good.. are you going to do the water neck and alternator bracket.

There is a red silicone hose kit also.
