I painted my CAI flat black, just becuase I want to get away from anything that has any associations with RICE what so ever. I used Dupli Color high heat Flat Black. I used steal wool to lightly scratch the original paint then sprayed away.

 

why would it look "rice"?!?!?!

 

if done in flat silver it would match the rest of your engine bay

 

hahaha,...if that's you in your avatar, you can paint my intake anyday. LOL

 

Well if StUnNaS didn't exist then I might not have painted the the CAI, but since stunna take every opportunity to Stun the world with the products they have, I have no choice in the matter.

 

LOL if that was my gf then I'd show her 3rd gear VTEC everyday.

 

looks nice

 

i like

 

I did the same to my intake but used high heat silver, so it looks like a major part of the engine.

 

i seem to be missing how an intake can be ricey....

 

how does the finish on an intake correlate into being ricey

 

Ricey??? So do you think I should paint my Ice box red? Or even better my header black?

 

Everything should be black these days...

 

Flat Black=

J/K

 

i dont think polished intakes are rice......painting stuff black is becoming the biggest rice on this board imo...

 

Was it hard to paint the intake. Did it drip a little. I want to paint my intake red to match the rest of the car but i am afraid the paint will drip and look bad.

Can anyone tell me their experiences with painting there intakes.

 

great now it looks like a ghetto home depot intake...j/p

 

It wasn't hard to paint at all. My instructions
1.) Go to Autozone or Pep Boys and get some Dupli Color High Temp paint.
2.) Go to Safeway, Krogers, Kingsooper, Randells, or any grocery store and get some steel wool
3.) Take off intake.
4.) Clean the intake with water, the rub the intake with the steel wool, don't rub all the paint off just enough to so the new paint will have something to stick to.
5.) Clean after rubbing with steel wool, I'd clean the intake with rubbing alcohol get it really clean.
6.) Put your intake on the end of a stick and paint away, 8-12" away form the object.
7.) put two coats on and allow to dry over night. Drying is actually really fast 20-30 minutes for each coat but still allow to dry over night.

Ohhh boy did I get myself in trouble with the RICE comment.

 

No, just provide dynos for the before and after painting HP #s. I wanna see the improvement.
