Painted my intake (with a twist)



well, I had the intake off during my cam swap, so i decided...why not paint it...

BUT the problem is...i hate gloss red intakes, everybody has them. So, i still did mine red...just flat red.

Let me know what you guys think.

Under different lighting cicrumstances, it looks anywhere from red, to orange. Personally, I like it.

need a better pic of it to really make a judgment on it. I doubt it'll look bad though

To me, matte would be better. I prefer them to remain silver though.

It's a throttle body spacer. Ya know, like a carb spacer? Allows air and fuel to mix......maybe just a little funky air, but air none the less. I am trying to build a bracket to hide everything.
