Well i bought an ls6 manifold and I want to paint it first before I install it. I have already read many threads on how to paint it. At first i thought of painting the manifold, lid,fuel rails, valve covers and radiator support glossy black but now I'm leaning towards a charcoal grey or something similar ? what are your opinions on the color(s) i should choose ? can anyone post pics of a black ls1 engine bay ?

thanks!

I'm assuming your car is black.... well mine is too and whenever I finally find an ls6 or fast intake I'm gonna paint it gunmetal grey. And everything else will be glossy black. That's what'd I'd do lol.

I think glossy black intake manifold with red fuel rails will stand out awesome depends on what you like the most. Google for some pictures, thats how I found what would look best for my cars engine bay for a FAST intake manifold

damn... that looks good! excellent choice indeed

if you haven't already, now you HAVE to do the rest of the engine bay! can't have all that nice stuff in the center with everything around it looking basic lol

can't wait to get an LS6 intake and be able to dress it up. should make a huge difference under the hood
