Thoughts?

Different and creative. Not sure if it's my taste particularly, but it looks like you did a good job with it. Maybe you should do a few coats of clear coat and see how it turns out. I'd also like to see it on the car, to get a final opinion.

am liking the blue n black one. def havn't seen that done b4. it isn't gonna be seen tho, is it?

The red is the masking I used, I printed off an SVT logo in red. It's going on a 3.0 with the oval port UIM and LIM, so it will be visible. And it will be nice since there aren't any SVT logos on my engine anymore

I did think about putting a clear coat on it, but I'm not sure what's available as far as heat-resistant clear coats. The blue I used is rated for up to 1200F and the word "ceramic" appears on the can, if that actually means anything. I just didn't want to put good paint on there and ruin it with a crappy clear coat.

I think its a cool idea, but the blue/black color scheme is kinda interesting. i dont know if the color scheme is my cup of tea, but very legit idea. i like it *thumbs up*

I might've done Black with Blue lettering, but still looks good regardless.

 

[PurpleMystique]

I did it this way so if I ended up not liking it I can just put on a couple more coats of blue and the SVT is gone.

Thanks for the comments, guys, keep 'em coming.

Needs more silver in the SVT :shrug:

Looks good. There are high temp clear coats out there. I'm surprised though that the paint didn't turn out more glossy from the way it looked wet. :shrug:

It's a bit different, but I'm not a big fan on the color scheme. As someone said earlier, I think black with blue text would have been much nicer.

Pretty sweet and original. If I had a shot at doing it, I would have done blue with silver lettering, or red with black lettering.

Nice job!

Man; I would have done it in satin black/gloss black. Subtle is where it's at.

That level of subtle is treading on invisible. This is definitely more subtle than the silver/blue/red/etc. that other people are suggesting.
