Thumbs up Painted My FAST 92mm Intake: Lots of Pics

Decided to paint my new FAST 92mm intake red with black lettering. This was the first time I have ever painted something, so given that, I think it came out pretty good. I'll have to take a pic with it on my car here soon... But let me know what you all think (:

- Duplicolor Adhesion Promoter
- Duplicolor Brilliant Black Crystal - 2 in 1 Applicator
- Rust-Oleum Sandable Primer
- 1000, 400, and 180 Grit Sandpaper

Everything costed about $22.

Primer:



Clear Coat:



Paint:



2 in 1 Applicator:

Sanded down with 180 Grit:



Added Adhesion Promoter, let dry for 15 minutes, then Primer:

Looks good. Post up some installed pictures once you get it done; I also think it would have looked nice with your color scheme swapped (primarily black w/ red accents)

Came out good man, the more you would've sanded with the 180, the less pitting you would've seen in the final product. Over all not bad for what you spent Sir.

Thanks for all the compliments
Letting the clear sit for 3 days, then getting a TB to put it on and I'll post some pics...

Will say when I started reading this thread I was a little skeptical as if I would like the color scheme but looks great man! Also the black lettering you did looks great too! What is the temp rating on the paint you used? I painted the intake on my car to match using enamel paint and haven't have a problem out of it.
