Since I'm going to convert over a 93 TB and have the upper and lower intake out of the car. I'm thinking of taking it to the powdercoater and getting something nice done to it. I need some ideas. Post 'em if you've got 'em.:SNSign:

Jeremy, my current intake is black and I'm looking for something different this time. Something that'll jump up and grab your attention. I'm not too crazy about polished parts either.

Meh, I did this with some masking tape, a razor, and some paint. Not awesome but I like it.

I bet that took a lot of patience. I only hope I have the same if I need to detail it like that.

here's mine

Stripped the factory powdercoat off, sanded down all the casting seams and texture, then put down many coats of Dupli-Color 500 degree ceramic silver with 600 grit wet sanding between each coat. Also added some red to the cobra snake and polished the lettering.

I always liked Silver...Its just stands out....I ran Black to, but to me the Black kinda hides the upper...
What colors you got on the motor??

I have a GT40 Tubular out being polished except the runners, and the cover plate polished...The runners I have yet to choose a color...It wont be Silver this time though...Maybe Rio Red to match the car???

Little different style intake but its black textured with polished raised letters & details, then red accents. Sorry but the custom top plate isn't done yet.

Paul, every time I see that intake pipe makes me wish morpheus was still around.

I couldn't talk you into loaning it to me so I can make a copy of it could I?

We're in the process of polishing our upper intake on the Cobra. It's almost done. If I remember this thread by the time it's done, I'll post some pics (if it comes out satisfactory for me, that is).
