Still need to wetsand them both. I'll be damned if I put ANYTHING on that lid.
The first one is the lid with just the body color. The color is a little off thanks to color correct on my phone!

What's next?! 
Still need to wetsand a little more on the drivers side of the lower box, a bit of orange peel left. I should probably take out the front bumper support and paint that crappy plastic next. I'm happy!

OP did you do any sanding on your lid or lower air box or any prep work on them? They look great!
Thanks man! The air lid is MTI, and they are not built flat, they have a texture to them. I sanded the face of the lid with an orbital sander, 160 grit. Then hand sanded it with 220, then 400 to make sure it was nice and smooth. I wasn't as concerned for the other sides having the texture in it. The lower air box did not get any sanding. Then a dust coat of primer, then 2-3 good coats. Wetsanded that with 600, then 1000.

Thanks man!!!
Should I do everything black? I was actually just going to leave the intake alone for once! Coils are gonna be painted pewter. I think I'm gonna sand down the valve covers and just clean up the metal, leave them like that.
Paint them black you mean?
