I'm doing a cam swap soon and I can get really, really good deals on powdercoating so I'm thinking of getting some stuff done. I'm just not sure what.
I want to get the intake manifold painted red, but besides that I have no clue. Any ideas?
The intake manifold, water pump, and thermostat housing all look good when done the same color. Just make sure that the intake manifold fins are polished, it looks 10x better that way.
Acc bracket?
Good call......I forgot about mine sitting in the dining room done in black. :D Goes good with a black alternator housing.Quote:

I was thinking maybe of a black/red mix, it would match the rest of the interior and exterior theme then.Quote:

Next time I have some brackets done in the satin I'll take pics. It's badass.
