Painted the LS6 Intake (pics)

finally finished painting the intake. sanding is a bitch, i sanded it all the way up to 1500 grit, sanded off those little circles on top and all the orange peel typ stuff, turned out pretty good only thing is that when i was painting some nats decided to land on it so there still there with a few coats of clear on them, but other than that it turned out realy good i think, very smoth and shiney

used adheisive promoter, high build primer, base coat and clear.
thanks

That looks great. I wish I would have painted mine when I swapped mine. Fairly easy 3-4 hour project though I day, im sure.

Where did you get those valve covers? We are doing a LS6 swap into a 64 vert vette & those will be killer.
