Re: I Finally Painted My TBI Intake!! Happy With The Results!! What you Think?
I love the color and the result, but you really shoulda masked it like stated above.. I don't know if it could cause any real issues, but it seems safer to mask stuff like that when you paint it.
Re: I Finally Painted My TBI Intake!! Happy With The Results!! What you Think?
i sprayed mine while it was still on the car. u should have taped it off like everyone else have said. hope u go threw and scrape paint off the areas that need gaskets or u going to have a sealing problem. is that heat paint??
Re: I Finally Painted My TBI Intake!! Happy With The Results!! What you Think?
yes its heat paint and the picture is kind of misleading there is hardly any paint in there and just took the intake off was in a rrush to paint it but deffanitly will be scraping the gaskett off thanks guys

What fumes? When the paint is dry there are no fumes at all. The paint won't do damage and in fact it might improve sealing on gasket surfaces.
just install as is, don't worry about it.
