Painted the intake manifold/throttle body

[Meatyshells]

now im sure someone will ask "why did you paint it silver? it blends in too much".
But i just wanted clean looking pieces, nothing too fancy. + when i am all done with the engine dress up ill have a complete blck/silver scheme going on.

Plan on painting the wheel wells the same silver also.

Great job man.. but now you have to clean up the rest of the bay and get some wire loom. Nice job

Re: Painted the intake manifold/throttle body

instead of painting the "wheel wells" try just cleaning them up really well with a degreaser. they will come clean. try house hold cleaner like "fantastic" or something like an engine degreaser for the tough spots.

i like what you've done so far, dont ruin it :p if you paint those youll probably find theres no good spot to tape off the paint job and transfer to white. a clean white engine bay looks nice. trust me.
