Mine I belive was worse. The paint was yellow in color from removing the baffels in the hood dirt rolls in.
As for you lower air box, you need Virgin paint thinner to clean it down use a scuff pad then towel dry with a painters shop towel. Then spray urethane adhisive promoter ,prime light sand base coat clear coat. Or you can single stage it.
All supplies can be found at a local paint store or NAPA.
I used trans star primers and cleaner Dupont Chromabase and 3M clear coat I still had it from the paint job.
Pm me if you need any more help, or have more questions . I think I have step by step pics somewhere.r

The kit was a cake walk Drilled the air box ran the lines went smooth. the only thing difficult was the braided line itself.
I ran it under the carpet all the way up the passanger side then through the firewal where the ECM hard lines come through. Just cut the rubber boot the sealed it back .
Thats why my line just appears under the A/C the runs to the box. Electric wire ran the same way grounde the WOT switch with fuel pressure. Took about an hour to do it.
