for anyone who was thinknig about paiting thier intake black or whatever i came across a cool product. its actually a paint called blackboard paint. i guess you can spray it on any surface and it turns it into a blackboard haha.

it was only like 4 bucks for a can so i said what the hell.

i just bought a beater intake for winter so i painted it. it has a really cool finish and feels, im sure you guessed it, like a chalk board.

i havent put it on my car yet so i have no idea on how durable it is, but im sure its pretty tough considering its meant to be written on.


just thought i would share

 

that sounds pretty damn cool. stealthy and doubles as a place to write addresses and phone numbers when you have no papers or napkins. doh, but you gotta carry chalk. still cool.

 

yea i thought about writing some **** on it...well see

 

write AEM on it or somethin, that would be funny... but what's the difference between it and normal flat black paint?

 

write......"i love rice " i'm just playin witcha.......take some pics..i'm curious on how it looks, or how it came out

 

Sp000m

 

Fork!

 

I don't like how the chalkboard feels...gives me chills.

haha i just wiped it off...cant even tell it was there

 

Cool Honda-Tech-AEM intake

 

that's pimp. maybe you can do other parts too to get a uniform look

 

chalk valve cover would be pimp y0!

 

haha.. i was just thinking that!

 

thats not such a bad idea..i just dont know how it will react to heat...i guess there is only one way to find out

i will get pics tonight

im going to go put it on now..i will tell you how much burns off later

 

let us know if it keeps the intake cool.

 

hope the paint holds up. Nice idea.
I'm gonna invest in that paint. Everyone from h-t is gonna run a can of that.

 

well after driving with my valve cover on for a few hrs it seems fine but then again its about 10 out

the intake is currently not on cuz i dont want to run a cai in the winter..i just took mine off cuz way to much salt and sand were hitting it.

 

hahaha, that is too funny.

 

for some reason I would imagine this paint would soak up heat.

but who knows?

 

 

it was obviously a joke -- he's making fun of people that would spent + $700 for a valvecover! relax there, buddy.
