I’m going for tasteful. If it’s too much, I’ll dial it back.

Feel free to kick in criticism, good bad or otherwise. I noticed it got real quiet in here once I started posting pics of the teal

Hey, we were all taught by our mommas not to say anything unless it is nice... Most of us anyway.

Decided to do the intake grey.

The “Edelbrock” and “performer 351w” letters are teal.

It looks a lot better and the teal was a whore to get on the intake. The grey was easy

The quality of the powder coat looks good to me, I will just have to see the color scheme in completion.

Intake looks good. I thought powder was applied with a gun. How did you go about doing those raised letters? Bake it twice?

Yes. Baked Teal first, then sprayed grey and wiped off

Keep posting pics like that and you may start a side business on accident.
