Can you upload the pics to the site so I can see them, your host is blocked at the office.

What type of prep work did you do to them, I want to start cleaning up my engine bay soon & painting the intake is one of the things on my list to do.

Click "Post Reply" then "Manage Attachments" that is below the text box you type into....just scroll down a bit, it should be on the lower left. Then from there you get a pop up & you can browse to the pics on your PC & you can upload multiple pics.

did u sand it down to smooth texture before paint?
looks very clean, i think a hammertone finish would have given it the extra edge,
its clean and mean

It isn't perfectly smooth, but pretty close. I didn't want it to look better than my paint!! LOL

My Valve covers are Powdercoated the same color and I wanted to match them.

I do like the Hammertone finish though.
