Default Painted my new FAST

Well I got my new FAST intake last week and my girlfriend and I decided to paint it. She's really getting into cars and loves working on mine so we are doing the intake and we already got the torque arm, panhard bar, and lower control arms done. And the cool part is that she did it all! Well, I showed here where things go and such, but she's the one that got dirty and did all the work. Yep, she's a keeper lol. Anyways, here's the paint job we put on my new intake. It's going on a red WS6. What do you guys think?

Looks kinda like mine. Black gloss will be hard to keep clean.

My fiance loves my car, but hates when I spend money on IT and not HER. I told her she knew what she was getting into Manifold looks good, did she paint it or did you?

Thanks for the compliments! She actually picked out the color scheme for the intake. I was thinking red with black because as stated black is difficult to keep clean. But man, black is just such a nice color when it is clean! Anyways, I had her do the primer and the sanding and the cool part was that she didn't gripe one bit I did the actual painting because i've done it alot before. I wasn't sure i'd like it when it was all done, but I'm actually pretty pleased with it.

Actually it's on the car as of last night. We got the intake on and new oil pump in and finished up early this morning. And I'm thinking we should wait till I can at least get a cam otherwise, it won't be much fun for me lol. I'll just go home depressed about how slow my car is
