My whole engine is painted black, as well ... with 20+ years of oil and road grime.

Seriously, though, I dig the black intake. Good job on the detailing, too.

Best thing I've found for using under the hood on rubber and plastic stuff is any kind of GEL tire shine. Seems to last a bit longer than the spray-on tire shine stuff, and after awhile all you have to do is just wipe the stuff clean with a rag instead of coating everything again with the shine stuff - makes cleaning up the engine bay a snap.

yeah using brakleen magically scrapes, welds, and bondos your engine bay, then builds and drops your engine in.
