Red intake manifold pics
Hmmm....I went crazy with the Dupont Metalcast paint... it gives a finish that's like anodization. It's basically clear, high gloss, with a color tint.
I was going to polish the whole thing, but that's just sooooo much work. This took 10 minutes.
The pics don't really pick op the gloss and the transparent look though. Oh well. Looking forward to getting the damn engine back though!!!!

I just ran a grinding stone across the top, and took the paint off the letters and ridges. It's a night and day difference!
I'll post some pics in a minute.
BTW, in the pics it makes the paint look really dark, and off color, not matter how I adjust it.
Thats a $20 webcam for ya.

Damn BamBam, why to go, really like the natural letters. To be honest I thought it looked like crap at first, but the natural letters pic changed my mind. Now you just need to put it on so we can see pics of that.

Ya, I wasn't too impressed at first with the initial result, being all red- too monochromatic, but I was bored and just wanted to do something different. I'm really surprised at how the brushed letters really made a night and day difference! I'll consider that a success now!

Damn You!!
Just when I thought that I was done working on the cars in my stable, you had to come along with this idea! The original picture didn't look too good, but now that you brushed the lettering and ribbing it looks too good to pass up. That's gonna look great on my wife's red 7. If my son sees it he's gonna want to start tearing down his '89 Supra Turbo to paint engine parts. His is red, too. Looks like a winner to me.

Looks great....now hopefully it will stand up to engine bay heat! Much better with the lettering and ridges done. As soon as I saw the first pic I was gonna suggest that.
