Default Painted my LS6 intake to match my car. Check it out!

I just got it back from the paint shop. It sure is cool to know someone who runs a body shop.

Cost to get this painted: $0.00 <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

Wow that looks great. Its sooo shiny and smooth lol. When I get a Ls6 intake, I also plan on having it painted. What type of paint was used? Post some pics once its installed! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

It's the same kind of paint that's on the outside of the car.

Red intake...kinda!

Not the best job <img src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" border="0" alt="[judgement]" /> but, you can get an idea of what'd look like. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Does the intake need to be sanded down and then painted or is it just painted with a coat of clear???

As you can see we are kinda missing, an important part - the throttle body!

And yes the engine looks totally AWESOME!!!!

<strong>Mark - I know this is off the subject but would it be possible for you to make me some Berger plaques like what is on the current version?

I would rather go with the custom one now that I think of it but either would be cool
