Few Engine shots after cleaning up(FD)

I was tired of my engine bay looking like crap so i decided to try some of that duplicolor high temp engine paint. I asked a few people on the forum and i heard nothing but good things about it. Here are the pics

before



after




not exactly the bling of polishing but i cant complain.

Thank you zerobanger, you were the one that inspired me. =D Ididnt remove the manifold rajeevx7, just removed a few nuts and masked off a lot of stuff with a paper bag and tape, really really really easy.

Here is what i painted:
UIM
Throttle body
intake elbow
crossover pipe? (the thing that connects to the y pipe)
Lower apexi intake (top is polished)
the 90 degree intercooler pipe
the waterpump
everything around the powersteering and a bunch of misc stuff.

EDIT2: Next i think im going to do the ABS unit
