Default LS3 throttle body in black

Looking to buy a black LS3 throttle body.

Any advice on a good one to buy?

Ive heard that some have had problems with a few of the aftermarket ones.

Only switching out for cosmetic purposes.

Then paint yours. Why complicate it?

Why pay $$$ for a duplicate part just to get a diff color ? Esp when it has to be R&R'd either way.

Like already said, paint your own. Not difficult to do and you control the quality of the work!

Since no one has mentioned it, just remove yours and repaint.

Where did the OP go ?

Another example of someone that asks a question and then never gets back to the thread he started.

I have it on good authority that my local auto parts store sold a can of black high temp paint earlier this morning. Perhaps the OP is out painting his TB right now, and will post pics this evening.

I have painted several with Duplicolor gloss black ceramic brake caliper paint. Turns out perfect and no issues for over seven years.

Jesus people, why don't any of you give some good advice and just tell him to paint it himself. I thought we were here to help each other
