Custom powdercoating (pics)
After getting my intake back from Lloyd Elliot, I sent it to Customs by Mike (supporting vendor 
) and had it powdercoated red. I also sent him my rear C4 calipers so they would match my C5 Z06 front calipers. Here are the results:
I'm very happy with the work, and the prices were not bad at all. I will use him again.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
Color options are pretty much limitless. If you click on my signature and look in the gallery on my website you can see a wide variety of other things I have done and various colors.
This intake was fairly clean, as it had just come from porting, so a light sandblasting was all that was required. Prep depends on level of work required. I have chemical stripping, abrasive blasting, solvent cleaning and burn off capabilities in my shop.
I can strip your LT4 manifold. If its just paint, it shouldn't be a problem at all. If it was powdercoated, their might be an additional $25 charge due to the extra labor, as PC is hard to remove.

Coat the base, plenum, and valve covers in black. Coat the runners in silver or polish them. I polished mine.

The Valve covers will either be Polo white or black.
If I PC the base it, will be black.
Those pice look awesome BTW.
