  • anyone paint the 3800 on the upper intake?

    ive seen a few people with painted 3800 numbers on the upper intake.

    how did you manage to do this without getting paint everywhere?

    hard roller?

    I took hightemp spraypaint and sprayed it into the cap, got a good amount in there and then took a small paintbrush and painted about 3 coats on... still looks good after 2 years.

      sharpy marker, 1year on, and looks good still, and when it fades another 30seconds worth of work and it's good as new

                Would touch up paint for cars work on that too or does it get really hot?

                  I used touch up paint on mine, and I think I was the first one here to do it [img]smile.gif[/img]

                  Works fine. Use Red.

                    What temp paint did you use? DO you have any problems with it burning off? Im interested in knowing. Can anyone recommend to me a really really good paint I can put on my manifolds. I know it sounds horrible, but I have to sell my car and I want to paint the EGR flange that bolts to the manifold black. I had to use muffler mender around it all to hold it on there so it won't leak. If I sand it a little better and just paint that part black it will clean it up better, but i'm afraid a high temp paint will just burn off (i have trouble keeping 1200degree paint to stay on my muffler)

                      I did mine back in 2000 on my 2000 Camaro 3.8. I used blue touch up paint and did it really carefully, came out quite nice. Lasted for 1.5 years till I sold the car. One of the nicer, inexpensive appearance mods :D .

                              speedy, that looks awesome, like everyone else said.

                              how hard was it for you to take the intake off to do that? and i assume you used a new gasket to put it back on?
