Painted intaked need help I just finished painting my intake, using duplicolor engine enamel, let it dry for 5 days and i sprayed the clear (4 coats) on it. After i sprayed the clear on it this afternoon the color looks duller. Is that normal or did i screw something up? What do i do to get it to have a rich shiny appearance. |
you use a real spray gun to get a rich shiny sppearance, spray bomb is no good.. |
was it really humid out when you did the clear? |

Ditto That duplicolor clear takes some shine away when using. If you are in a hurry, you can take it and spray it on very heavy, and it have the shine back. That's what I allways do, than sand and buff. You can try just putting lots of light coats on, but I think putting it on heavy works fine. In my opinion, I wouldn't use clear on the intake. I know you used high heat paint for the intake, is the clear coat high temp too?? If not, just forget about the clear and leave it, it should look fine. |
hmm...we sprayed mine off the car and put it back on the same day and did a primer/base/clear and hand painted it and it has a decent shine..i too used the autozone high temp engine paint. it sat for 15 mins or so between coats and i drove the car home that night (100 mi) after changing the intake manifold gasket. I don't know about LS1's though, do you have to do anything different to them? i know the LT1 intake is aluminum, but what is the LS1 intake made out of? and FWIW the clear i used was high temp just like the primer and black http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/f...s/100_0119.jpg http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/f...s/100_0115.jpg |
