Default People with painted intakes

What process did the body shop use to paint your intake. I have tried emailing a few people that have had them done proffesionally and havent got any responses. I need to hurry on this one, I have a car show coming up in a couple of weeks. PLEASE HELP!

Didn't you e-mail me? I responded.

Any body shop worth it's salt will know how to paint the intake. If they don't know, you should go somewhere else.

Yeah, I'd recommend taking the intake off and painting it yourself. I did and it looks good.

I did mine, too. It was really easy. Just prep it by washing, lightly sanding it and then primer.. You will see good results if you take your time..
