FAST 90/90, Paint it...?
FAST 90/90, Paint it...? I'm stuck trying to figure out if I should paint my FAST 90 intake or not. If so, what are some color ideas, and what type of paint should I use. I read the stickies and did a search but didn't come up with any 'hits'...TIA

This may sound crazy
I think Black with red lettering would match your car and engines color scheme.

the gun metal was a thought to be the medium between the stainless steel headers and the aluminum in the engine compartment...

The color is "Storm Gray" by duplicolor, it's basically like a metallic gunmetal. And the letters are silver. Thanks for the compliment. Here's the stickey:

I painted mine Black (metalic flake) and did the lettering in yellow to match the car. Let me tell you, doing the lettering is a PITA!
Simple steps really:
Do a quick sand with 400+ grit paper
Clean it off with some brake cleaner (don't use carb cleaner its nasty and oily)
Spray a few light coats of plastic primer to get it to bond properly
spray with your color of choice.

search isnt working, does anyone have any good LS6 intakes painted? I wont be putting mine on for a while because I am waiting for some other parts to come in to do at the same time. Should I follow same sticky or is the plastic different? Thanks.
