So I wanted to do something different (well, maybe I don't go out enough, so different to me ... lol) so I decided to paint the intake white to match the car. Then I took out the tiny little paint brush and model paint kit I had left over, from a small project that I didn't complete in the past, and got to work ... I'm still trying to touch up the runs/etc. so I wouldn't say it's complete ... what ya'll think?

Looks good. In the 4th pic, how come no one paints the base? I have never seen a fast so i dunno if that is the bottom shell and you painted it seperatly?
Looks like you did not sand it? I know when i take my LS6 intake off, i am not going to sand it. I will use adhesion promoter, primer, color then clear

Yeah, it's two halves (well there's a third inside but externally two halves) so I just took the top off.
I didn't want to sand it so it would've taken too long and then I'd not be satisfied with my work and then it's gonna be a whole other issue ... lol ... I used that new Fusion plastic paint thingy, hoping it wont flake 'cos its supposed to get into the pores or some BS like that ... fingers crossed.
