It really isn't, i took my time and made it perfectly smooth before primer (took me a little longer and more work). You can make it look pretty good for really cheap.

probably dependant on how extensive you want to take it, obviously. give them a ring, sure they can give you a # right there.

Wow, for the $250 to paint you could sell your LS6 intake and almost have the cash for a FAST intake.
