Post your Powder coated plenum pics

If you've got pics of a powder coated plenum/TPI, post em. Im thinking seriously about powder coating my plenum and runners black, and tracing the lines in red.

There was a guy awhile ago at a show here in denver with a tuned port vette. HAd the plenum and runners powder coated "chocolate Chip" looked kinda nice but it was on white. If your cars black i'd have it done black with silver in the groove and red outlining the grooves. I think that would show alot of attention to detail

Dude that looks sick! kinda has the hole black widow over the motor thing going on. I like the black but i'd have to do something with the groves so it stood out a little more/:hail:

Hey TPI383, I was thinking about doing something exactly like that with mine! I love that grey/chrome mix that you have on those SLP runners. Regardless of what color I go with, I do have a question. Were those SLP runners smooth or cast before you coated them? I want to coat my SLP's when I gett'em , so I don't wanna pay for the polishing, but if they need to be polished to come out like yours did...well, you see what I'm gettin' at right?

Thanks

Do you have any that are powdercoated black? Does the black cause any problems with heat dissipation on the block?
