Pic Request: Polished and painted intake manifold
So I am NOT looking for a pic of a polished IM. I know what that looks like. I am looking for a pic of a IM that has been polished (or smoothed out) and painted, so that there is no real texture, just a smooth finish. Here is a example of what I mean:
But I dont want non of that pumpkin s---. I realize that those may just be powdercoated, but you see the smooth texture I am talking about. Anyone have pics? I am looking for BLACK or GUNMETAL, but anything will do!

will not powder coating save you time and you get great results? -also last longer than any paint you can ever buy.

Re: Pic Request: Polished and painted intake manifold
Yea powdercoating is awesome. I just didnt wanna fork out 100 bucks right now to do it. So I rattle canned it and got good results. I was more or less interested in color combos

Re: Pic Request: Polished and painted intake manifold
yeah i saw your worklog and it looks awesome. spray paint is ok on the intake manifold it doesnt get that hot, its spray painted valve covers that you have to worry about.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
