what he or we did was use the gm color matched paint that you can get from any gm dealership and possibly your local auto store, and just spray painted over the chrome. I figured that we should skip the primer because the chrome could give it more shine because it would show through. the key is to coat it light so you dont get runs. then make sure you use a decent amount of clear coat to protect that paint.

 

alot of clear coat

 

Looks good man.

 

thank you.... i like you av,,,

 

Well I wanted my Intake and Car the same color, and this is a good idea. This saves me alot of time Painting my car to match the intake! lol

This has inspired me to paint my intake Blurple. Color Matched intakes FTW!

 

i like the intake but i do have one question...did you really need to make 3 threads about it?

 

im a premium member i can do what ever i want...lol

 

Touche!

 

he meant douche!

 

no if he ment douche.. it would have been with a w e r f c x s notice how all of htem surround d but t... its dam near the other side of the key board lol

 

now do your valve cover

 

IM GOING TO GET my valve cover powder coated this spring som... i found a guy who will do it for 200 dollars exact match.. paint.. but im thinking i want it in black

 

do the valve cover SOM and the spark cover black with the raised lines polished

 

thats a good idea..

 

So painting your intake makes it "custom"?







I call it rice.

 

call it what you want... its not really custom.. but it looks dam good... it was done the write way.. it dont think its rice... it would be rice if my intake went down to an intercooler..
