Default Engine Plenum and Fuel Rails Painted/Airbrushed

Had a local airbrush guy paint and airbrush my plenum and fuel rail covers. Laguna Blue fuel rails and carbon flash plenum cover with Stingray Z51 airbrushing and the Stingray Emblem.

Really nice touch without going over the top. I was at a car show this weekend, some guys get a little carried away.

I had a former schoolmate do mine for me. He owns a body shop and had him paint the Laguna Blue and Carbon Flash portions. He knows a guy locally that does airbrush and had his airbrush guy do the airbrushing. I'm sure most local shops in your area know an airbrush guy that could do similar work.

I'm probably going to do an underhood package for the rest with RPI. Fuse box, surge tank, brake reservoir etc.

Sure. I used my fuel rail covers and plenum so it was just the paint work. He charged me $300 to paint it all. It was $200 to paint the plenum and both fuel rail covers and $100 is what the airbrush guy charged to do his airbrushing. During the process they also had to sand the "Corvette" lettering off both fuel rails.
