FAST 102 Make over So I received my fast 102 the other day and wanted to give her a make over so she looks all bad *** under the hood.
I hit up Ray and we went and got all the stuff needed to paint the intake manifold. We ended up getting the same paint as my car.
Here are a few pics of the intake right now. Pictures consist of bare, primered, painted. The top of the intake looks silverish but that's because of the fluorescent lights.
We will be shooting some clear tonight and then installing the intake in the next day or two.
Big shout out to ray for helping me out with this project. Learning so many things about painting already.

The man himself getting down.
Yesterday Ray and I installed the Fast 102 intake manifold and really cleaned up the car.
Here are some pictures.
Can't wait to see how the car will look with a few other things painted as well...
Once again, thank you very much Ray. You did an outstanding job.:thumbs:

Tons of others have done this (FAST and LS6 intakes) and I've not seen, or heard of anyone, saying heat did anything to the paint/clearcoat. You can run your call all day long on the hottest day of the year and you can touch the intake without having to remove your hand because of heat, so heat is not going to cause issues to the paint/clearcoat, as long as it was prepped correctly.
