White intake and FRC on DD? I'm putting on an LS6 intake soon, and will likely be painting and getting some FRCs to go with it. What I'm wondering is, will cleaning the intake and FRCs when I wash the car be sufficient to keep them from looking like crap? I know they won't be getting coated in grease or anything, but as far as the dirt and dust goes, how much cleaning would be involved? I drive the car about 4 days a week in north Alabama.
Anyone have experience with this? I can always go black if I think it's gonna be too much of a pain, but white would definitely be my preference.

it shouldnt be hard to keep clean. the FRC can be removed (and probably Need to be to clean intake anyway) and easy to clean. the intake's not hard either, some spray detail and a micro rag once a week should keep it looking good.
Anyone know how well duplicolor rattlecan white matches Arctic White?

Now that you ask......
I did my engine bay with Duplicolor artic white and cleared it. It came out yellower after a few weeks but stoped getting darker so now its only about 3 shades off. I would try to find a brighter white then clear coat that so it will match a bit better.
Good luck and take pics of the journey.
