Ok,

I am really torn here.

I have a Blue Thunder 351C4v manifold that is just not coming completely clean. I love both the natural aluminum color, but I also love corporate blue.

I also just received a flow-cooler water pump (can't get enough cooling for the Cleveland). It has a great stock look and I also cannot decide whether to lacquer it clear or paint it corporate blue as well.

I do have a shaker setup with the car, so the manifold is hard to see anyway.

Chime in!

Mike

You could do paint but instead of blue, paint it aluminum. It's how I did mine and it looks really good.
