Bored, So here's pics of Intakes I painted Well being unemployed and all right now I need to entertian myself for a few minutes somehow so here's some pics of a few intakes I've done for myself and others.
I think i posted this link last year but here is my original LSX and my engine bay parts I polished at the time,too. I didn't like the color of this intake at all, was kinda glad when the intake turned out to be defective and FAST gave me a new one.

Up next is three different intakes.
-The red LS6 is one I port matched to TEA heads and did in GM 98 Torch Red for a vette owner on here.
-The silver LSX with black lettering is my current FAST intake, port matched to my TEA heads and done in GM 98 Fbody Silver and the lettering done in just a gloss black.
-The other silver one is an LS6 i just finished for a user on here, not ported, done in the same GM factory silver as my LSX.
All of them were smoothed down to a glass like finish, primed, painted, and clearcoated. Shitty work by hand, but hey they are pretty when done and thus here my bored *** is to post pics cuz I'm kinda proud of them
Here ya go, let me know what you think of everything.

abadss, i didn't wetsand them, no, they come out nice enough without any wetsanding so I dont' bother.
ZaneO--I did not mask them, I do the lettering by hand with paint from a can, I've always had a good hand for that kind of stuff i guess so I just do it that way.
