intake manifold

A couple of pics of my base and fuel rail I painted with that metalcast paint. I considered doing my plenum because I cant get it as mirror like as I wanted but I think I'm just going to keep working on it and leave it unpainted.

Yeah, it is just spray paint, but I think it comes out pretty nice. I just couldnt get the base as clean as I wanted so I decided to spray it with that .

That looks very nice. I have seen those cans at my local auto parts store and often wondered how well it actually works... Looks good, I can see how it does on the fuel lines, nice and smooth..

Great job.

Duplicolor, I called every auto-parts store in town and checked at the local hardware stores and could not find it . I had to order it directly from them . Here is a link to their site.
