ALSO, Like I said before! I used standard split loom first so the Techflex has something to conform to and hold a perfect shape. If anyone plans on doing this, Be aware that if and when you decide to use the electrical tape to hold the standard split loom in place. Please use 3M 33+ electrical tape because you will kick yourself in the *** later if you dont. It has a higher heat rating then standard. Standard is like 176* the 3M is over 100* more. The problem with standard electrical tape is that the adhesive will break down over time enough to cause the tape to weep and sag. Ugly lol...

Cool project! Props to the amount of work done!. Personally though I would have gotten Torch Red paint code mixed so it matches exactly. And that Techflex stuff looks exactly what we use at work on Aircraft.

Thanks bud... It pretty much does match exactly. **** it might as well be torch red hahaha... Its either spend 30 bucks for a can from GM and have to wait for them to order it or spend 5 bucks at Ace Hardware... I chose the instant 5 dollar can...

Quick few pics from the other day, Not the best but whatever hahaha
