FAST 90/90, Paint it...? I'm stuck trying to figure out if I should paint my FAST 90 intake or not. If so, what are some color ideas, and what type of paint should I use. I read the stickies and did a search but didn't come up with any 'hits'...TIA

This may sound crazy
I think Black with red lettering would match your car and engines color scheme.

the gun metal was a thought to be the medium between the stainless steel headers and the aluminum in the engine compartment...

The color is "Storm Gray" by duplicolor, it's basically like a metallic gunmetal. And the letters are silver. Thanks for the compliment. Here's the stickey:

I wouldn't bother painting it, they look good the way they come IMO.
"Unless" you're wanting to go for the sleeper look .... then paint her black, someone did it awhile back, pretty cool it was.

I painted mine Black (metalic flake) and did the lettering in yellow to match the car. Let me tell you, doing the lettering is a PITA!
Simple steps really:
Do a quick sand with 400+ grit paper
Clean it off with some brake cleaner (don't use carb cleaner its nasty and oily)
Spray a few light coats of plastic primer to get it to bond properly
spray with your color of choice.
