Default Painted LS6 Intake **pics**
I decided to paint it red like the car. used spray can red and clearcoat that was like 3 years old. sanded it down with 400 then 600 just to rough it up. sprayed down some primer than alyed down the red and finally the clear. did 2 coats of the red and 3 coats of the clearcoat. I think it came out well if I do say so myself...


comments appreciated!

I see it, i see it...looks good....heres your tip, watch out for the oil sending unit in the very back, its usualy not a stocked item anywhere, so you dont wanna break it when you pull the stocker off.

Man that car has come quite a ways.
