UIM,LIM,TB, flat black?
I searched for a good 20minutes and couldn't find no pictures. I'm looking for some feedback on TB,UIM,LIM being painted black. Haven't seen any pictures of how it looks. If any of you have painted them flat black, or just black, let me see pics please if you got them. I got a black'd out car, just wanna give some of that to the nice jspec engine.
Thanks, Tony

Gonna look like ***... everything in the engine bay will look dark as hell..... oh.. and flat black will absorbe heat a lot faster than cleaned or shiney aluminum
with a blacked out car.. I'd paint the irons black, the Water pump, and any other steel parts, and then either polish or bead blast all the aluminum for a real good contrast!!!!

Send me your BMX parts
I've seen them painted black. You'll want to use the high temp barbeque paint of course. I think the guy with the Yellow Mica FC did that. Not sure what his name is.

Question about polishing manifolds:
Does polishing the manifolds increase engine bay temps since there is less surface area for the absorbtion of heat? Not sure if I worded it correctly but I remember reading something regarding this.
