Default Sanding intake.....

When sanding the intake and getting ready to paint. You just ore or less concentrate on the runners right? I dont want to get into all the tiny nooks that you wont be able to see anyway once the stuff is all on.

thanks.

I really concentrated on the runners, but I also made sure that I did as far down into the nooks that I could...especially on the front portion of the intake that's not hidden under the cowl. I didn't go too crazy, though as the injectors and fuel rails cover a some of the deeper nooks...

Sand the parts you will see really good. Runners and the flat spots on the sides, up by the TB. Scuff everything else you can.
