Default Painted FAST, valve covers and coils.

While in the process of having new heads put on I decided to have a couple parts painted.
FAST 90-Gloss Black, keep the sanding and primer to a minimum so the texture would come through the paint. Red lettering, FAST and Wilson both red.
Valve cover-gloss black. Took forever to de-grease and prep for paint.
Coils-Red gloss colored matched to the STB.
Polished the NW 90 TB too.
Have't taken pictures of the parts installed yet but will add pictures this weekend. Let me know what you think. I know it's nothing custom but I like it.

Gloss Black without red lettering



Black valve covers




Red coils



Polished TB



FAST with red lettering (used a paint marker)

You need to post some pictures with everything bolted to the motor. The red on the intake looks good.

The polished TB turned out way better then I thought. The pic with the reflection of the receipt shows the true "bling" of it.
14-the pictures don't do it justice. I wasn't sure about the texture either but in person it looks great!!

Pictures installed will b posted tomorrow.

Thanks guys. I'm very happy with the results! Anyone on the fence about it should do it. It's well worth it.
