Painted my HPS intake

[r3dn3ck]

I did most of the painting rough-in on my intake and mocked it up to see how it would look. I'm pretty happy overall. What'cha think:

Bottom, white to reject heat from the block and then the letters painted just cuz it looks cool and is TOTALLY pointless since it's invisible when on the car.

Top. Haven't put the red pin stripe around the bases of the runners on yet but the blue is done. I need a thicker red paint than the one I got. It's just not popping like I want it to on the test patch (not visible).

The whole thing with the CPR fuel rails and BBK 78mm tb/plenum and 3.5" Spectre CAI mocked up.

Nice, is that the color of the car?

Sweet, what did you use for paint?

the car is a darker blue but the color scheme is blue and black. I wanted a little brighter shade for the non-body blue parts so they'd show up better.

I used brush-on caliper paint for the blue parts, flat black epoxy enamel for the base coat and white epoxy enamel for the bottom. The red is rattle-can caliper paint that I sprayed in a jar and then left to sit till most of the solvent evaporated off so it'd thicken up, then I painted it on. It's kinda thin right out of the rattle can.
