another painting question
Thanks for your replies on my painted fuel rail cover question. I painted them today and they look awesome. I will post some pics soon.
I am wanting to paint the intake manifold as well. Since it is plastic, it runs a lot cooler. Do I need high temp paint, or can I use normal paint?
Thanks

TargaC5: I think he means the intake airbridge, not the intake manifold.:smash: I would think that high temp paint is not necessary for the plastic airbridge.
Please post pictures of your fuel rail covers, would love to see them...

Re: another painting question (70 LS1)
You should be alright with normal paint. Some hot rodders actually use the same paint on their engine block as they do on the body. I can't see how it can stand the heat though. Your intake should be fine, like you said since it is plastic, it runs a lot cooler.
