Default Finally got my Vararam!

only took 3 wks Question though, has anyone ever tried to paint one to match fuel rails etc.? I'm assuming it could be sanded smooth without to much trouble. Any thoughts? I'm hoping it works alot better than it looks.

Great idea! Yes please post pics when you paint them. Sounds like something I might try.

I havent seen one in person so I couldnt tell you if it can be safely sanded or not. If the texture on the outside is too heavy you might want to sand a little and use some filler to make up the rest to get you the smooth surface you're looking for.
