I just used a sanding sponge I had from left over from some sheetrock work I did to my house, then sanded it smooth with a really fine grit paper.

Here are a couple different angles to show the different colors it changes to...

Your intake looks sick as hell. How hard was it to lay down the tape to get that look? I'm not very familiar with the process.

I'm looking for someone that has painted their air lid rally red with the 35th Anniversary le stripes. I have the fuel rail covers painted like this and would like to have the air lid to match.
Thanks,
Brian
