I think its the flash.. up close you can't tell he just sprayed one coat on the inside of the MAF and three coats on the outside I never asked him to do the inside but sean took the liberty to due one coat on the inside of teh MAF. but good eye I had to look in the garage when you said it.

Its not the flash, but thanks for trying to make me an excuse John, I appreciate it lol.

I didn't know John had a clear lid and you'd see the MAF insides. There is no reason to intentionally coat the inside of a MAF obviously, so I tend not to specifically try for it.The powder that did get in there was just a residual affect of it being electrostatically charged and finding its way in there.

John is bringing the MAF by tonite and I'm taking care of that, free of charge of course
