TPI paint
What kind of paint is being used on the plenums or runners that makes them look anodized? I have seen a lot of them on here (blue,red,gold). I did a search but didnt find the info on the paint just pictures. Someone had one that was blue for sale on here recently, he told what paint he used but I cant find the post. Also if you have a picture of a plenum painted red with this paint I would like to see it, I found some red runners but not the plenum.
Dupli-Color Metalcast is the paint, I got a can of red but have not used it yet, so no pictures sorry

That looks awesome, thanks, that is what I was looking for! He says it is also clear coated, I have some clear engine enamel, is that what I should use?

What powdercoating makes up for in durability it lacks in looks IMO. Powdercoating never really comes out smooth looking. Its always really wavey looking. Can you sand out powdercoat to make it smooth without loosing the shine???

Yes you can wetsand and buff certin colors to make a MIRROR finish, but if coated right no need to.
Like This Black.... Im betting if I wetsand with 2000 and buffed like you do a car it would blind someone with a reflection..
