Thumbs up Re: Painting Engine Parts

As it happens, I'm doing the same thing. I went a different route though, opting to buy a second set of parts that I needed. mostly because on a hot engine, most paint needs to be cured, or heated until it glazes a bit (or is smokes something biblical). Also yeah prep is so much easier (dare say the only way possible) when its not on the engine.

Over spray on your expensive collector car= bad.

If you get scared, I'll do a How-To also, and post a thread on my work once the parts arrive. I Have a very nice dSLR, so I can get some huge pics for you too. PM me if you just want me to send you my extra part when I'm done, I could even prep and paint it for you if you like my results.

How much would you want for your extra intake manifold? And when are you planning on doing a how to?

It depends a lot, I sent you a PM about it. I'll start a thread about it soon. Sooner if you want one.

Here is what the manifold looks like underneath. hope it helps everybody.
