basically just sanded it and primed it with a plastic flex primer, sanded it again and sprayed the single stage silver on it. There are some spots that had some invisible oil on it so the paint didnt want to stick but you really cant see those spots anyways. Fuel rails I just sanded down, primed and painted. Pretty basic.

Im really impressed with the silver...looks just like aluminum.

no its not chrome paint at all...just a plain old exterior automotive silver. I cant remember exactly what car it comes on stock but its not anything like the "chrome" paint you buy in a spray can.
