Default painted my intake

well in the middle of my ls6 intake/pp tb swap i decided to polish the outside of the tb and paint up my intake..

i used a dremel and mothers on the tb and the intake i stripped down, sanded, sandblasted, primed, yada yada, then laid down a silver base coat and overtop i sprayed a silver crazer from alsa corp and used a red scotch brite to brush it to give it a stainless steel look...what do ya think? thanks!

I love how it's sitting on the stove in the kitchen. My wife would have a heart attack.

It looks good. Nice job removing the casting marks and smoothing it out.

What about smoothing and paint stock truck intake?

If so, how much? I would be happy with a gloss black paint job.

PM me with what you would charge to tint the 4 tail lights out of a C5 corvette, along with the 2 rear side marker lights, and the rear backup lights, there are 2 of them. One on each side of the license plate.
